The U.S. Commerce Department has added more than 100 Russian and Chinese companies to a new list of entities with alleged ties to the countries’ militaries, in a move that will restrict access to U.S. goods and technologies.
The list identifies 45 Russian and 58 Chinese companies as so-called military end users, requiring U.S. companies to obtain licenses to sell to the firms, which are more likely to be denied than granted.
“The Department recognizes the importance of leveraging its partnerships with U.S. and global companies to combat efforts by China and Russia to divert U.S. technology for their destabilizing military programs,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement on December 21.
Under an expanded definition of military end users developed earlier this year, the category went beyond armed services and national police to include any person or entity that supports or contributes to the maintenance or production of military items.
Entities on the list include seven subsidiaries of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Russian aviation company Sukhoi, and Admiralty Shipyard.
The move comes days after the Commerce Department added dozens of Chinese companies, including the country’s top chipmaker, to a trade blacklist, as tensions remain high between Washington and Beijing over a range of issues.
Tensions are also rising with Russia over its alleged role in a major cyberattack on the U.S. government and top companies.
That’s gotta hurt but both communist regimes will invent new companies and relatives to skirt the laws. That’s why it’s best to just use bullets to speak with Communists…well….except Bert and Knut, we give them a pass on their sicknesses. At least for now. ;))
T* was right, dead people voted in the election. Unfortunately it was a republican that voted for T* 😉

I’ve never understood the fascination for killing people, it must be an American thing?
You mean, like Anders Breivik?
That’s one killer, try to find more killers in Norway?
Did you see that they found a dead voter in the election, unfortunately it was a republican that voted for his dead mom 😉
Yeah, congratulations you found ONE Republican. There’s probably a million dead Socialists that voted too. That’s what they do you know, they have to cheat to win.
Besides that, Breivik killed 69 in a country that has only 5.3 million people. Per capita that would be the same as an American killing 4,361 people….which would never happen. So, you have NOTHING on the US no matter how much you hate America. Period!!! :))
As always you’re wrong, Breivik killed 77 people, 69 on the island and 8 in the government building 😉
Homicide rate per capita 2018:
United States 4.96
Norway 0.47

Ok, I was wrong, lol. But that just makes the numbers worse, friend.
Behahahahahah 😀
