According to recent reports, the US government approved 192 licenses for exports to Chinese firms that were blacklisted due to human rights abuses in early 2022. The licenses were granted by the US Department of Commerce and authorized the export of various products, including sensitive technology, to 57 Chinese companies on the Entity List. The Entity List comprises companies that are believed to pose a risk to US national security and foreign policy interests.
This revelation has raised concerns about the US government's commitment to enforcing human rights and national security policies, especially in relation to China. Critics have pointed out that granting licenses to blacklisted companies undermines the government's efforts to address China's human rights abuses and poses a threat to US national security.
The US government has defended the licenses, stating that they were issued in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and that they underwent a rigorous review process. However, many experts argue that the process is flawed and needs to be re-evaluated to prevent exports to blacklisted companies in the future.
The controversy surrounding the export licenses is the latest development in the ongoing tensions between the US and China, which have been exacerbated by issues such as human rights abuses, trade disputes, and territorial disputes.
