China announced on Friday that it would establish a blacklist of "unreliable" foreign companies and organisations, effectively forcing companies around the world to choose whether they would side with Beijing or Washington.Chinese state media reported that the new "unreliable entities list" would punish organisations and individuals that harm the interests of Chinese companies, without detailing which companies would be named in the list or what the punishments would include.
"I think foreign and especially US firms now have to worry that China is creating a new 'legal pretext' to at least impose exit bans on foreign individuals who make this new list, if not worse," said Bill Bishop, editor of thenewsletter, referring to the Chinese practice of not allowing designated foreigners to leave China.
