The US has added four Chinese companies to an export blacklist for buying US-origin goods to support China’s military modernization efforts, the Department of Commerce said in a statement published Thursday.
There is a “presumption of denial” for applications to export to the four companies, according to the statement, meaning they will likely be unable to purchase US-origin items in the future. The companies are involved in providing AI chips to the Chinese military, according to a Reuters report of comments from Kevin Kurland, an export enforcement official with the department’s Bureau of Industry and Security.
