China Blacklists 6 U.S. Firms, Escalating Trade Tensions Over Taiwan

Beijing cites alleged military links to Taiwan to justify a trade ban on three firms, with export curbs hitting three others.

Overview

  • China’s Ministry of Commerce added Saronic Technologies, Aerkomm, and Oceaneering International to its unreliable entity list, blocking them from trade with China.
  • Huntington Ingalls Industries, Planate Management Group, and Global Dimensions were placed on an export control list that stops Chinese shipments of dual-use items.
  • Officials said the targeted companies engaged in military-technical cooperation with Taiwan and endangered China’s national security and interests.
  • The action continues a series of targeted measures that included July export controls on eight enterprises linked to Taiwan’s military.
  • The announcement comes weeks before a planned TrumpXi meeting in South Korea, where the leaders say they will address trade and technology disputes.
