Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) has issued a statement in response to the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security's recent announcement. The Bureau has added numerous Chinese entities to its export curbs list, including firms that were involved with the "high altitude balloon" that flew over U.S. airspace in February 2023.
Moolenaar stated, “The spy balloon was a violation of American sovereignty and these related Entity List additions are a welcome although overdue step, as are the quantum-related listings. BIS must keep the momentum going and continue listing companies that are helping the Chinese military and the CCP’s human rights abuses. This should start with PRC biotech companies like WuXi Apptec, MGI, all of BGI’s subsidiaries, as well as PRC drone firms like Autel. The CCP constantly seeks new ways to bypass our export controls, and we must be equally as adaptive.”
