According to reports on September 14, according to CCTV, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce recently responded to reporters’ questions about the United States’ inclusion of many Chinese entities in the export control “entity list.” A reporter asked:We have noticed that on September 12, 2025 Eastern Time, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it would include a number of Chinese entities in the export control "entity list." What is China’s comment on this?
A: China has noticed that the U.S. Department of Commerce has overstated national security, abused export controls, and imposed sanctions on many Chinese entities in the fields of semiconductors, biotechnology, aerospace, commerce, and logistics. In the name of safeguarding international order and national security, the United States engages in unilateralism and bullying, puts its own selfish interests above the development rights of other countries, suppresses and curbs companies from various countries, including China, disrupts normal commercial exchanges between other countries, severely distorts the global market, damages the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and undermines the security and stability of global supply chains and industrial chains. China firmly opposes this.
Starting from September 14, China and the United States will hold economic and trade talks in Spain.What is the intention of the United States to impose sanctions on Chinese companies at this time? China urges the United States to immediately correct its wrong practices and stop its unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
According to domestic media reports,On September 12, local time, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce issued an announcement announcing that 23 Chinese entities would be included in the Entity List on the grounds that there are behaviors that are “contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests.”
Among them, Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics Co., Ltd., a listed domestic chip company, the Institute of Aerospace Information Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hualing Holdings, etc., among which 13 entities are semiconductor and integrated circuit-related institutions, 3 are from the fields of biotechnology and life sciences, and others include aerospace remote sensing, quantum, timing systems, industrial software/engineering software, supply chain and logistics services and other fields.
BIS said that these companies or institutions have acted "contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States", including providing support for China's advanced computing, integrated circuit manufacturing and distribution sectors, and participating in biotechnology, engineering software development, semiconductor manufacturing equipment procurement and other fields. There are risks of circumventing export controls and transferring items for sanctioned targets.
BIS emphasized that entities included in the Entity List must apply for a license for all items subject to the EAR, and the license is "presumptive denial." Some companies have also been marked Footnote 4, which means that their related production items involving supercomputing and AI technology are also included in the control. To put it simply, these semiconductor companies are unable to obtain supplies from relevant overseas industrial chains (supplies are cut off).
