U.S. Cracks Down On China’S High-Tech Ambitions
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security announced on March 25, 2025, a sweeping expansion of export controls, adding 80 organizations to its Entity List.
This move intensifies America's efforts to choke China's access to advanced technology, spotlighting national security threats. Over 50 entities hail from China and Hong Kong, with others scattered across Pakistan, the UAE, South Africa, Iran, and Taiwan.
President Donald Trump's administration drives this escalation, aiming to block the Chinese Communist Party from mastering exascale computing-capable of one quintillion calculations per second.
Such power fuels AI breakthroughs and military simulations, worrying U.S. officials. The controls also target China's hypersonic weapons, which zip at five times the speed of sound, dodging defenses with ease.
China fires back, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun slamming the U.S. for“hegemonic behavior” on March 26, 2025, claiming it disrupts global supply chains. Beijing vows to shield its firms, hinting at retaliation.
Meanwhile, six Inspur Group units, tied to military supercomputing, join the blacklist, their Hong Kong shares dipping 0.4% to 15.68 yuan.
China's Military-Tech Push Faces Intensifying U.S. Crackdown
The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence and others face accusations of using U.S. tech for defense-grade AI and chips. Four firms-Henan Dingxin, Nettrix , Suma Technology, and Suma-USI-support Sugon, a sanctioned server maker, whose Shanghai stock falls 0.3% to 65.33 yuan.
Over two dozen entities, including military-linked universities, aid China's hypersonic push, while seven chase quantum tech advances. This builds on Biden-era restrictions from 2022–2024, but Trump's team scales up fast, adding more targets and countries.
The U.S. spends billions yearly guarding its tech edge, as China imports over $300 billion in semiconductors annually. Jeffrey Kessler, a Commerce official, insists American tools must not arm adversaries, eyeing threats like Iran's drones and Pakistan's missiles.
The story behind the numbers reveals a high-stakes chess match. China's military-civil fusion strategy alarms Washington, especially after hypersonic tests in 2021 and quantum leaps.
Businesses watch closely-Inspur's woes ripple to U.S. chip giants like Nvidia, while Sugon pivots to local suppliers amid sanctions. Taiwan's role, a chipmaking hub, complicates the fray.
Transitioning to impact, these curbs could slow China's tech rise, but gaps remain. Firms adapt, seeking homegrown solutions, while global trade feels the strain.
Trump's aggressive stance, rooted in his first-term trade war, signals a tougher line than Biden's, prioritizing security over economic ties. The world waits to see if this gambit curbs China's ambitions or fuels its resolve.
