Five more Chinese universities have been added to the U.S. entity sanctions list. Chinese netizens have discovered that all of China’s “Defense 7” have now been selected. After being added to the sanctions list, importing products from U.S. companies requires approval from U.S. authorities, which is tantamount to a technology embargo.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ross issued a statement on Dec. 18 regarding the U.S. Department of Commerce’s listing of 77 Chinese entities for “human rights violations, militarization of the South China Sea and theft of U.S. trade secrets. Multiple sources on the Chinese web identified five new Chinese universities on the list: Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing University of Technology, and Tianjin University.
With the addition of the 13 Chinese universities listed in May, a total of 18 Chinese universities are now on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s sanctions list. Among them are the Chinese universities known as the “Seven Sons of National Defense” in China.
These seven sons in addition to the latest list of Beijing Institute of Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Nanjing University of Technology, in addition to the last selected Northwestern Polytechnic University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin Engineering University. According to the introduction, the above universities are involved in China’s military, weapons, equipment, aerospace, electronic information, chemical and materials projects.
According to the introduction, the U.S. entities included in the sanctions list of enterprises or universities, such as imports from U.S. companies, need to be approved by the U.S. authorities, the same as technology sanctions. Previously, Washington has banned students and researchers from a group of universities with Chinese Communist Party military backgrounds from entering certain sensitive areas of U.S. universities in order to prevent theft of U.S. high technology. However, some analysis points out that the CCP may use other universities or units to circumvent the U.S. sanctions through other countries.
