The United States puts more than 60 entities including SMIC on the blacklists list

The US Department of Commerce announced that the Bureau of Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce included SMIC on the Entity List to restrict its ability to acquire key US technologies.

The US Department of Commerce stated that the Bureau of Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce included China Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) on the list of entities. This action is to protect US national security. US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross (Wilbur Ross) said: “We will not allow advanced U.S. technology to help build the military of an increasingly belligerent adversary.”

The US Department of Commerce stated that after SMIC is included in the Entity List, US exporters must apply for a license to sell products to the company, which limits SMIC’s ability to obtain certain US technologies.

In addition to SMIC, the Bureau of Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce has added more than 60 other entities to the Entity List whose actions are deemed to violate US national security or diplomatic interests.
