US has announced new measures to tighten technology export controls on China, escalating the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries. The US. Department of Commerce added nearly 80 Chinese companies, including major tech giants such as Inspur Group and Sugon, to its trade blacklist. This move restricts American companies from selling technology to these entities without obtaining government approval.

The new regulations focus on high-performance computing technologies, particularly those that could be used for military applications, such as the development of hypersonic weapons. The US. government has expressed concerns that Chinese companies could leverage advanced US technology for military purposes, which has been a growing concern amid rising geopolitical tensions.

The US. has also implemented export restrictions on semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other critical technologies, in an effort to curb China’s advancements in key sectors like AI and supercomputing. This decision is part of a broader strategy by the US. to limit China’s technological capabilities and counter its growing influence globally.

China has criticized these export controls, accusing the US. of unfairly stifling its technological development. However, experts believe these moves are likely to strain economic relations further and could lead to retaliation from China. The tightening of technology export controls is seen as part of a broader effort by the US. to protect its national security and maintain a technological edge over China.
