U.S. Blacklists Chinese Nuclear Firms From Importing U.S. Nuclear Components And Materials


Bloomberg: U.S. Blacklists China Nuclear Firms Accused of Aiding Military

(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. added four Chinese nuclear entities to a trade blacklist, accusing them of helping to acquire advanced U.S. technology for military use in China.

China General Nuclear Power Group and its subsidiaries China General Nuclear Power Corp., or CGNPC, China Nuclear Power Technology Research Institute Co., and Suzhou Nuclear Power Research Institute Co. were added to the so-called Entity List, according to a Federal Register notice published Wednesday.

The move comes after a crackdown on U.S. exports of civilian nuclear components and materials in recent years. In 2016 the Department of Justice accused China General Nuclear Power, the country’s largest nuclear group, of an espionage plot dating back to the 1990s to steal US technology. The Pentagon has also warned over China’s plans to introduce floating nuclear power plants on disputed islands and reefs in the South China Sea.

WNU Editor: You would think that these Chinese nuclear companies with their close ties to the Chinese military would have been blacklisted years ago. But nope. It is only happening now.

That's what happens when you're concerned with "diversity" and "inclusion" and "LGBTXYZ+ ideology" as under the Obama administration.

I have to agree. I'm not American but would have voted for him back then both time's. Loved him and the historic moment but wow what a train wreck he and before him Bush/Cheney were to America. It just shows you how quickly the US might fall and with it the rest of the free world. China was hoping for it and along Trump came. My advice is to get behind him. There seems to be a historic shift in favour of the west and for some reason our left media in europe and the left media in the US - all financed in some shape or form by Russia and China - tell us Trump is an idiot. Sure sure
I think all know what's going on. The last people who don't know is the parrot
