What is the purpose of the seven Chinese entities?Expert: It may be related to the recent "chip bill"

[Global Times Reporter Fan Wei] The US Department of Commerce issued a notice on its official website on the 23rd that the US government added 7 Chinese related entities to its export control list on the grounds of "national security" and foreign policy issues. The list released by the US Department of Commerce shows that the seven Chinese entities that have been suppressed this time are related units in the aerospace industry. Experts interviewed by a reporter from the Global Times on the 24th said that the move in the United States is likely to be related to the recent "2022 Chip and Science Act" adopted by the United States.

According to the announcement issued by the Industry and Security Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce (BIS), this export control will take effect from August 24, involving 771 Institute of the Ninth Research Institute of China Aerospace Technology Group (Xi'an Microelectronics Technology Research Institute), and Obit, Zhuhai Seven Chinese entities including Aviation Technology Co., Ltd.. BIS said in the statement that these entities were included in the export control list because their activities "do not conform to US national security and diplomatic interests, especially these entities trying to obtain US technology products to support China's military modernization." The U.S. Department of Commerce said that after being included in the control list, any supplier needs to apply for a license before providing American goods or services to these Chinese entities.

According to a reporter from the Global Times, many of these 7 entities are integrated circuit research and development related enterprises. Among them, Xi'an Microelectronics Technology Research Institute is mainly engaged in the development and development of computers, semiconductor integrated circuits, and hybrid integrated circuits, batch production facilities, testing operations, products covering aerospace, aviation, ships, electronics, and nuclear industries. Zhuhai Ogit Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the development and production of Aerospace Electronics, Micro Satellite Constellation and Satellite Data, Artificial Intelligence Technology and Products, and serves multiple fields such as aerospace, geographical information, land resources.

Aerospace expert Huang Zhicheng said in an interview with the Global Times on the 24th that the U.S. government had previously souned sanctions on the Chinese aerospace technology group and the aerospace science and engineering group, and sanctions were more biased towards the military industry. However, this time the US Department of Commerce added 7 Chinese companies to the export control list, which is likely to be related to the recent "2022 Chip and Science Act" adopted by the United States. Many of these 7 entities are mainly engaged in chips and microelectronics manufacturing, "this indicates that the United States' suppression of Chinese chips has gradually expanded."

On June 28, BIS published a document saying that due to the violation of US export control regulations, the registered place of registration was included in 36 companies in 9 countries such as China, Russia, and the United Kingdom in the "entity list", of which 5 Chinese companies were accused of supporting Russia Construction of military and defense industrial bases. In addition, China Military Industry Group, including China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Corporation, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, and China Aviation Industry Group Co., Ltd., was included in the list of "non -SDN Chinese military complex enterprises" by the US Treasury Group, which means that Americans cannot buy or sell securities in any public transaction in the list.

Huang Zhicheng believes that the United States has included 7 Chinese entities in the export control list on my country's aerospace industry. He introduced that China Aerospace has always followed the independent development route. Even before that, the United States did not provide technical support for the development of Chinese aerospace, but adopted a strict blocked attitude. "Since we adhere to the independent development route, in the field of aerospace, our chip development and manufacturing have made great progress, so the impact of this sanctions on Chinese aerospace will not have a great impact."
