US government bans new foreign-made humanoids, robot dogs, and solar inverters, citing risks to national security
美国政府以国家安全风险为由，禁止进口新型外国制造的人形机器人、机器狗及太阳能逆变器
The Trump administration is banning the import of new foreign-made humanoid robots, robot dogs, and power inverters, citing an “unacceptable” threat to national security. The move largely affects imports from China, which currently has the vast majority of the global market share. 特朗普政府正在禁止进口新型外国制造的人形机器人、机器狗和电力逆变器，理由是它们构成了“不可接受的”国家安全威胁。此举主要影响从中国进口的产品，中国目前占据了全球绝大部分的市场份额。
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced the ban on Tuesday, saying that devices made overseas could be remotely controlled or used for surveillance by foreign governments, or otherwise used in cyberattacks. The FCC said that exceptions would be granted if the government finds that a device does not pose a risk to U.S. national security. 美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）于周二宣布了这项禁令，称海外制造的设备可能被外国政府远程控制或用于监视，也可能被用于网络攻击。FCC表示，如果政府认定某款设备不会对美国国家安全构成风险，则可以获得豁免。
The U.S. government has long accused China of hacking into U.S. businesses to steal data and preparing to launch future cyberattacks for its own military gains, such as an anticipated invasion of Taiwan. But the U.S. has also long warned that the risk of Chinese ownership alone could allow Beijing to force a company to spy on Americans or remotely tamper with their products. The U.S. government has similar legal powers. 美国政府长期以来一直指责中国入侵美国企业窃取数据，并为自身的军事利益（如预期的台湾入侵行动）准备发动未来的网络攻击。但美国也长期警告称，仅中国所有权这一风险，就可能使北京方面能够强迫企业监视美国人或远程篡改其产品。美国政府自身也拥有类似的法律权力。
Humanoid robots, the class of robots that move similarly to humans, are far from mainstream and are still in early development. There were around 15,000 humanoid robots shipped worldwide in 2025, with each of China’s two largest robot makers accounting for the majority of those shipments. 人形机器人（即动作类似于人类的机器人）远未普及，仍处于早期开发阶段。2025年全球人形机器人出货量约为15,000台，其中中国两家最大的机器人制造商各自占据了这些出货量的大部分。
Power inverters are far more commonly used in U.S. households to connect solar and other renewable energy systems to the wider power grid. Existing devices in homes and installations are unaffected by the ban, the FCC said. 电力逆变器在美国家庭中更为常用，用于将太阳能和其他可再生能源系统连接到更广泛的电网中。FCC表示，家庭和设施中现有的设备不受该禁令影响。
The ban is the latest in a series of actions taken by the U.S. government against China in recent years, including a U.S. government ban on TikTok that forced it into the hands of U.S. investors, plus bans on a broad swath of foreign-made consumer routers, and Chinese surveillance equipment makers Hikvision and Dahua, which have been linked to human rights abuses. 该禁令是美国政府近年来针对中国采取的一系列行动中的最新举措，其中包括美国政府对TikTok的禁令（迫使其转手给美国投资者），以及对大范围外国制造的消费级路由器，以及与侵犯人权行为有关的中国监控设备制造商海康威视和大华的禁令。
Beijing rebuffed the FCC’s ban, with a Foreign Ministry spokesperson quoted by the Associated Press as saying that China will use “all measures necessary” to protect its businesses. Chinese president Xi Jinping is expected to meet President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., during a planned state visit in September. 北京方面驳斥了FCC的禁令。据美联社援引外交部发言人的话称，中国将采取“一切必要措施”来保护其企业。中国国家主席习近平预计将于9月对华盛顿特区进行国事访问期间，与唐纳德·特朗普总统会晤。
