Foreign media: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission will add "advanced robotic devices" manufactured abroad to the coverage list, banning imports and sales of new models, though previously authorized models remain unaffected.
This move primarily targets Chinese companies that hold over 80% of the global humanoid robot market; analysts believe American domestic developers such as Tesla stand to benefit.
China has condemned the U.S. for broadly invoking national security concerns to suppress Chinese enterprises, stating that protectionism cannot enhance American competitiveness but only harm American businesses and consumers, and asserting that China will take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
The ban covers humanoid robots, quadruped robots, and various network-connected mobile devices, citing supply chain vulnerabilities and cybersecurity threats as justification.
