Hong Kong: The US Federal Communications Commission is banning imports of new foreign-made humanoid robots and power inverters, citing national security risks, in a move that targets China. China dominates the global market for humanoid robots with an estimated market share of roughly 85 per cent. The agency said imports of advanced robots pose cybersecurity and other national security risks. China’s Foreign Ministry hit back at the US move, accusing Washington of overstretching the concept of national security to suppress Chinese companies. The new bans could also potentially interfere with collaborations between US and Chinese technology companies, said Lian Jye Su, a chief analyst at Omdia.
