China Strikes Back: 10 U.S. Entities Hit with Export Controls Following Pentagon List Expansion-Global Times
China added 10 U.S. entities to its export control list on Monday, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), Global Times reported.
The regulatory action, taken under the Export Control Law and relevant regulations on dual-use item exports, is intended to safeguard China's national security and legitimate interests, as well as to uphold its international non-proliferation commitments.
Under the new rules, all domestic exporters are prohibited from supplying dual-use items to the listed entities. In addition, institutions and individuals worldwide are barred from transferring or providing China-made dual-use goods to them. Any ongoing export transactions involving these entities must be suspended immediately.
If an export demand arises due to special, genuine necessity, it must receive approval from the Ministry of Commerce. The announcement took effect immediately upon release, the statement said.
"The move is in response to the U.S. decision to expand its China military-industrial entity list, and is aimed at protecting China's national security and honoring its non-proliferation commitments," a MOFCOM spokesperson stated.
The 10 U.S. companies affected are: Aveox, Red Cat Holdings, Teal Drones, IMSAR, Jaia Robotics, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp, Oshkosh Defense, L3 Services, MP Materials Corp, and USA Rare Earth.
