The US Department of Commerce accused the Chinese entities of "acquiring and attempting to acquire US-origin items in support of China's military modernization efforts." The move means that companies must obtain a license from US authorities before supplying any US materials or services to the entities, Reuters said. They are mostly related to aerospace, according to Reuters, citing an official notice. The seven Chinese entities are China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation 9th Academy 771 Research Institute, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation 9th Academy 772 Research Institute, China Academy of Space Technology 502 Research Institute, China Academy of Space Technology 513 Research Institute, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation 43 Research Institute, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation 58 Research Institute, and Zhuhai Orbita Control Systems.
The US Department of Commerce has added seven China-related entities to its so-called export control list, citing national security and foreign policy concerns, Reuters reported on Tuesday, proving once again Washington's complete disregard for international trade rules and mounting damages inflicted by its brazen crackdown campaign to global businesses.
