US Expands Export Blacklist to Target Chinese AI and Military Tech

The Biden administration adds 80 entities, including over 50 from China, to restrict access to advanced technologies with military applications.

The U.S. Department of Commerce added 80 entities to its export blacklist, with over 50 based in China, citing national security concerns.
The blacklist targets entities involved in AI, supercomputing, quantum technologies, and hypersonic weapons development for military purposes.
Six subsidiaries of China's Inspur Group were added for acquiring U.S. technology to support military supercomputing projects.
The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence and other firms were blacklisted for developing AI models and advanced chips for China's military.
China condemned the action as an unjust suppression of its enterprises, while the U.S. emphasized closing loopholes to prevent circumvention of sanctions.
