Targeting companies in China, India, and the UAE, the US broadens its trade blacklist.

32 businesses and organizations from China, India, Iran, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates have been put to the U.S. trade blacklist.

GMC Semiconductor Technology (Wuxi) Co. and Jicun Semiconductor Technology were among those convicted for allegedly purchasing US chipmaking machinery on behalf of SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.), the leading semiconductor manufacturer in China.

SMIC Northern Integrated Circuit Manufacturing (Beijing) Corp and Semiconductor Manufacturing International (Beijing) Corporation, which were previously on the US Entity List, received equipment from the two companies, according to the Federal Register announcement. The licenses needed to export American equipment to these businesses are “presumed denied.”

Limited by Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics

A major manufacturer of high-performance computing chips, Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics Technology Co., was also placed on a blacklist by the Commerce Department. The company was accused of directly giving technology to Beijing’s security and government apparatus and supporting China’s military modernization, along with its affiliates in China, Singapore, and Taiwan.

In addition to the Entity List classification, Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics reportedly provided technologies to Russian military end users, according to US officials.

Entities from India, Iran, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates were also added to the list in the most recent measure, which went beyond China. Their duties were not immediately made clear in the announcement, and the companies were not available for comment.
