The US added seven Chinese supercomputing firms to a list of entities banned from receiving exports from American companies, citing activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the US.
The companies were added to the so-called Entity List, which prohibits American firms from doing business with them without first obtaining a US government licence, the commerce department said in a statement on Thursday. The new entities are involved either with building supercomputers used by China’s military actors, its military modernisation efforts or weapons of mass destruction.
