The Trump administration is expanding its technology crackdown on China.

The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday announced new restrictions targeting imports of advanced Chinese robots and power inverters, as part of a broader push to secure the domestic AI supply chain.

According to the FCC, the measure would ban imports of new Chinese-made humanoid and quadruped robots, as well as connected power inverters used in renewable energy systems, batteries and data centers.

The FCC wrote in a public statement that these actions are the result of an interagency national security panel convened by the White House, which met to make two National Security Determinations.

“Remote inverter connectivity introduces additional vulnerabilities that are compounded as inverter-based resources proliferate across the U.S. network,” the panel wrote in the National Security Determinations. “These vulnerabilities could allow foreign companies to shut down inverters or use them to collect and exfiltrate data.”

“Advanced robotic devices collect data that could be exploited by malign actors to surveil Americans, enhance the capabilities of foreign intelligence services, or remotely control robots,” the panel added.

John Moolenaar, Republican chairman of the House Select Committee on China, applauded the FCC’s move and urged Congress to advance the policy and codify it into federal law.

“Robot technology is likely to be in Americans’ homes and workplaces one day, and we must protect our country by keeping out Chinese robots with backdoors that share sensitive data with the CCP,” Moolenaar said in a statement.

The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
