China's dominance in battery manufacturing for electric vehicles and energy storage poses a cybersecurity risk to the United States.
The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission recommends considering legislation to restrict or ban certain technologies and services controlled by Chinese entities.
These technologies include advanced autonomous humanoid robots and energy infrastructure products with remote servicing capabilities.
The aim is to protect US economic and national security interests as China's near monopoly on battery manufacturing creates dependencies for US auto manufacturers and potential threats to critical infrastructure.
