U.S. To Blacklist More Chinese Chinese. Oil Giant CNOOC And Chip Maker SMIC Have Been Added To The List

Reuters: Exclusive: Trump to add China's SMIC and CNOOC to defense blacklist - sources 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration plans to add China’s top chipmaker SMIC and oil giant CNOOC to a blacklist of alleged Chinese military companies, escalating tensions with Beijing before President-elect Joe Biden takes office, according to sources familiar with the matter and a document seen by Reuters.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is poised to designate four more Chinese companies as owned or controlled by the Chinese military, bringing the total number to 35. 

A recent executive order issued by President Donald Trump would prevent U.S. investors from buying securities of the blacklisted firms starting late next year. 

It was not immediately clear when the new additions to the blacklist would be published in the Federal Register, making the move official. 

But the list includes China Construction Technology Co Ltd and China International Engineering Consulting Corp, as well as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) and China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC), according to the document seen by Reuters and four sources. 



WNU Editor: Will A Biden administration reverse the blacklisting of these Chinese companies? We will know soon enough.

Biden won't lift it. The new *Biden admin will simply allow business as usual to be conducted and deny that it is doing so.

Who will dare scrutinize?
