The People's Republic of China (PRC) is restricting the export of drone components to the United States and Europe. Beijing may tighten these measures even further next year.

The publication writes that the escalating conflict between China and the United States over trade now extends to drones, which have become an important part of Ukraine's defense.

According to several people briefed on the developments, Chinese manufacturers have recently begun restricting sales to the United States and Europe of key components used to build unmanned aerial vehicles.

In turn, officials in the West consider these measures to be a “prelude” to broader restrictions that Beijing will introduce in 2025. China is expected to expand export controls on parts.
