U.S. Expands Export Blacklist, Targeting Chinese Tech Firms Over Military Links
The United States has added 80 entities, including over 50 from China, to its trade blacklist to restrict access to advanced AI, quantum computing, and supercomputing technologies for military purposes.
- The U.S. Department of Commerce announced the addition of 80 entities, including more than 50 from China, to its export blacklist on March 25, 2025.
- The blacklist targets entities linked to China’s military-industrial complex, including subsidiaries of Inspur Group and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence.
- The restrictions aim to prevent U.S. technologies from being used in high-performance computing, hypersonic weapons, military aircraft training, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
- China has condemned the move, accusing the U.S. of 'weaponizing' trade and threatening countermeasures to protect its firms' rights.
- Entities from other nations, including Iran, the UAE, and South Africa, were also blacklisted for activities deemed contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy.
