On September 12, 2025, local time, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) on the grounds of “contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests,” adding 32 entities to the control list, including entities from China (23) and multiple other countries.
23 Chinese companies were listed, involving various fields such as semiconductors, biotechnology, and supply chain logistics. To date, over a thousand Chinese companies have been included in this list.
MOFCOM Response: China urges the U.S. to immediately correct its wrong practices and stop the unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
On September 12, 2025, local time, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued an announcement, stating it had amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) on the grounds of “contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests,” adding a total of 32 entities to the Entity List. These entities cover multiple countries and regions, including China (23), India (1), Iran (1), Singapore (1), Turkey (3), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE, 2).
23 Chinese companies were added to the Entity List, including the domestically listed chip company Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics Group Co., Ltd., the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Sino Ic Technology (Hualing Co., Ltd.), among others. Among them, 13 entities are related to semiconductors and integrated circuits, 3 are from the biotechnology and life sciences fields, and others include sectors such as aerospace remote sensing, quantum technology, timing systems, industrial /engineering software, and supply chain and logistics services. As of now, over a thousand Chinese companies have been included in the U.S. Entity List.

The U.S. claimed that the 23 entities were added to the control list because these entities allegedly engaged in acquiring or attempting to acquire U.S.-origin items for China’s military modernization, aerospace defense, quantum technology development, providing support for sectors like advanced computing, serving military, government, and security systems, and participating in fields like biotechnology, posing risks of circumventing export controls and transshipping items for sanctioned parties.
However, these reasons are actually rooted in a fear of China’s rise in the semiconductor, biopharmaceutical, and quantum technology fields. Entities listed will face significant difficulties in obtaining U.S. technology, equipment, and software; their related business supply chains may be interrupted or delayed; they may also face a crisis of trust in the international market and restrictions on cooperation with other enterprises.
The U.S. generalization of the national security concept and abuse of export control measures severely undermine the international economic and trade order and violate the principles of fair competition. Its real purpose is to curb China’s technological development and maintain its own global technological and economic hegemony. China firmly opposes this. The U.S. actions not only harm the interests of Chinese companies but are also detrimental to the stability of the global industrial chain and technological cooperation and exchange. China will inevitably take necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
MOFCOM Spokesperson’s Remarks on the U.S. Adding Multiple Chinese Entities to the Export Control “Entity List”
Question: We have noted that on September 12, 2025, U.S. Eastern Time, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the addition of multiple Chinese entities to the export control “Entity List.” What is China’s comment on this?
Answer: China has noted that the U.S. Department of Commerce, by generalizing national security and abusing export controls, has imposed sanctions on multiple Chinese entities in fields such as semiconductors, biotechnology, aerospace, and commercial logistics. Under the pretext of maintaining international order and national security, the U.S. is practicing unilateralism and bullying, placing its own selfish interests above the development rights of other countries, suppressing and containing enterprises from China and other nations, disrupting normal business interactions between other countries, severely distorting the global market, harming the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and undermining the security and stability of the global supply and industrial chains. China firmly opposes this.
From September 14, China and the U.S. will hold economic and trade talks in Spain. What is the U.S. intention by imposing sanctions on Chinese companies at this time? China urges the U.S. to immediately correct its wrong practices and stop the unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
