US imposes trade restrictions on 42 Chinese entities for supporting Russia's military

The US Commerce Department has added 42 Chinese companies to its export control list, along with seven entities from other countries, over their support for Russia's military and defense industrial base, including the supply of US-origin integrated circuits. The circuits are used by Russia for precision guidance systems in missiles and drones used in attacks against civilian targets in Ukraine. China has criticized the move as "economic coercion and unilateral bullying." The addition of companies to the US Entity List is done when they are deemed a threat to US national security or foreign policy.

Tensions rise as China urges Japan to lift semiconductor export restrictions.

Japan's announcement of export restrictions on 23 types of chipmaking technology, including advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, has renewed pressure on China's semiconductor industry from the US and its allies. The move could stifle China's attempt to develop new processes to manufacture advanced semiconductor chips in the future. However, the US-led measures have created collateral damage to American businesses and US citizens, as they are either banned from selling equipment to Chinese companies or prohibited from working for Chinese companies that have been blacklisted by Washington.
