China says it has decided to ban shipments of so-called dual-use items to 28 US entities. The measure applies to exports that can be used for both civilian and military purposes.
The Commerce Ministry made the announcement on Thursday amid stricter US regulations on semiconductor and other exports to China.
The ministry says the prohibition is aimed at safeguarding national security and interests. The targeted companies and entities include defense giant Lockheed Martin.
The ministry says the arrangement is in accordance with China's export control rules. Beijing tightened them for dual-use items in December.
The ministry also says it is barring 10 of the US entities from exporting to and importing from China due to their involvement in arms sales to Taiwan.
Analysts say this signals Beijing's determination to maintain its Taiwan policy even after US President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20.
