The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has passed a new law restricting exports of controlled items, allowing the regime to reciprocate against the United States as tensions mount between the sides over trade and technology.

The law, which will apply to all companies in China, was passed Saturday by the regime’s rubber stamp legislature, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, and will take effect on Dec. 1.
