The Biden administration on Monday added 43 entities including 31 from China to an export control list that bars them from accessing US technologies and components.

The Chinese firms added to the new blacklist include research institute affiliated with aerospace and defense conglomerate Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), Shanghai Supercomputing Technology Co, and Beijing Ryan Wende Science and Technology Co and Xinjiang Kehua Hechang Biological Science and Technology Co, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security website.

China firmly opposes the US move and demands the US immediately correct the wrong practice of politicizing, instrumentalizing and weaponizing economic, trade and technology issues under the guise of military-related and human rights issues, and stop abusing export control tools to suppress Chinese enterprises, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin, in response to the US Department of Commerce adding several Chinese entities to its export control list.

China will continue to take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, he said.
