China's Commerce Ministry announced today that it will stop supplying 28 American defense contractors with dual-use materials, which can be used for civilian and military purposes.

The move aims to maintain national security and “fulfil international obligations including non-proliferation, Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

The ban affects some of America's largest defense companies, including:

  • Boeing Defense, Space & Security
  • Lockheed Martin Corporation
  • Raytheon Missiles & Defense
  • General Dynamics

The export controls restrict these companies from accessing certain Chinese materials and technologies that could potentially serve both military and civilian functions.
