Winners and losers after the US FCC bans foreign-made robots

The US FCC has banned new foreign-made robots. China's Ministry of Commerce says the discriminatory and suppressive ban mainly targets Chinese robot manufacturers and warned that countermeasures are possible. The ban covers mobile robots weighing more than 4.4 pounds (which may be paired with charging docking stations) and applies only to new models introduced after the ban; already-authorized models on sale can still be purchased and continue to be used.
