Biden administration adds 37 Chinese entities to trade restriction list

The Biden administration added 37 Chinese entities to a trade restriction list, for "acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States," the Federal Register showed on Thursday.

The trade restriction list, known as the entity list, has been used aggressively by the Commerce Department to stem the flow of technology to China amid fears Beijing could use it to bolster its military capabilities.

Being added to the list makes it harder for U.S. suppliers to ship to the targeted entities.
