WASHINGTON - The United States said on Friday it would add 33 Chinese firms and institutions to an economic blacklist for helping Beijing spy on its minority Uighur population or because of ties to weapons of mass destruction and China’s military.
Seven companies and two institutions were listed for being “complicit in human rights violations and abuses committed in China’s campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs” and others, the Commerce Department said in a statement. Among the companies named is NetPosa, one of China’s most famous AI companies, whose facial recognition subsidiary is linked to the surveillance of Muslims.
Softbank Group Corp-backed CloudMinds was also added. It operates a cloud-based service to run robots such as a version of Pepper, a humanoid robot capable of simple communication. The company was blocked last year from transferring technology or technical information from its U.S. unit to its offices in Beijing, Reuters reported in March.Xilinx Inc, which makes programmable chips, said at least one of its customers was on the list but that it believes the business impact will be negligible.
Hope that more is coming.
Smart move. Trade with China is on far from equal terms and in any case serves to legitimise and prop up the CCP and their one party state.
China knows how to copy products. If tension escalates, war would surely emerge after the pandemic.
All forces have forces and reactions, but it depends on who bears them better. Let's see what happens next.
This is excellent news. The goal is for this American companies to comeback and bring the jobs back to America. China is in no position to play games. Trump won’t put up with their kids games.
US government Panic and doing some things wrong. They should 1st look for the Citizens of US and their security. After recovery from Coronavirus they should take action against All they want. Black list Chinese Companies will not help in theses situation now. Facing bad economic
Sad times and all because of MAGA was ill advised by warmongers like Pompeo and John Bolton. Just bear in mind what we all learnt in elementary school : for every action there will be a certain and equal reaction
This is a slap on the rest. China has not been hit with sanctions when they’ve invaded countries & failed to abide by international tribunal ruling against their aggression in the South China Sea. They deserve what the Russians got for invading Ukraine and Crimea.
It's getting worse
…
Great to see a rouge nation getting penalized for its crimes against humanity and suppression of other nations. Need the US to take tougher stand and other countries too follow suit.
If trump keeps going, Americsns won't be able to buy electronics, medicines, etc. At some point, Walmart's shelves should be empty... it seems most of their products are manufactured in China!
wanna make four digits real quick❓👀💰💯🇺🇸🇨🇦..dm”HOW “.no upfront fee needed
China will just make copies of American goods and fast food chains BAU
Sounds like US gasping for survival.
Boycott China for 3,40,004 innocent Citizens Deaths & Chinese Wuhan Viruse. Hong Kong & Taiwan are free Nations.
Okay.
