The U.S. is blacklisting five Chinese organizations involved in supercomputing, calling them national security threats and cutting them off from critical U.S. tech.
WASHINGTON — The United States is blacklisting five Chinese organizations involved in supercomputing, calling them national security threats and cutting them off from critical U.S. technology.
Commerce is putting five Chinese organizations, including supercomputer maker Sugon, on its so-called Entity List, saying their activities are “contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.” The other four are the Wuxi Jiangnan Institute of Computing Technology and three Sugon affiliates.
The blacklist effectively bars U.S. firms from selling technology to the Chinese organizations without government approval. The U.S. and China are locked in trade combat over Beijing’s aggressive drive to challenge American technological dominance.
