The US government on Monday announced restrictions on transactions with 33 Chinese organisations whose ownership is deemed to be “unverified”, and unsealed an indictment against a Shenzhen-based tech company already banned from supplying US federal agencies.
The Commerce Department’s new “unverified list” entries are primarily hi-tech manufacturers, including those that produce laser components and pharmaceuticals, government research labs and two universities. US companies seeking to export to entities on the list must obtain a licence to do so.
