China Readies Blacklist of Foreign Companies

The Chinese government is stepping up pressure on foreign businesses not to run afoul of Beijing, as the White House continues to target some of the Asian giant’s largest technology companies.
 

China’s Ministry of Commerce released long-awaited provisions on its so-called “unreliable entity list” over the weekend. The vaguely worded document mirrors the U.S. Commerce Department’s entity list that restricts named companies from accessing items originating in the U.S.
 

”Beijing will likely name at least one US company to the (unreliable entity list) between now and year-end – possibly even in coming days – but will use this tool in a targeted fashion, particularly in its early stages,” Michael Hirson, practice head, China and Northeast Asia, at consulting firm Eurasia Group, said in a note released Monday.
 

”The coming debut of the (unreliable entity list) underscores the dilemma facing (multi-national corporations) in China, who are squeezed between the legal and political dictates of the US and its Western allies on the one hand and Beijing on the other,” he said.

The move came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration said it was adding Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei to a blacklist, which prohibits the company from working with its U.S. suppliers. Huawei’s revenue last year missed internal forecasts by $12 billion, while profit growth slowed from the prior two years.
 

Provisions from the unreliable entity list released Saturday laid out consequences for a foreign entity — a company, organization or individual from another country — that is deemed to be a danger to “national sovereignty, security or development interests of China,” according to an English-language version of the policy on the Commerce Ministry website.

The consequences for an entity added to the list could include: restrictions or prohibitions on China-related trade, investment in China and travel or work permits.
 

禁止在华投资!商务部打出重磅清单

中国商务部在19日突然发布了重磅消息,那就是针对一些西方不良企业的《不可靠实体清单规定》出炉了!
 

而其中有一条规定非常重要——我国将对违反正常的市场交易原则,中断与中国企业、其他组织或者个人的正常交易,或者对中国企业、其他组织或者个人采取歧视性措施,严重损害中国企业、其他组织或者个人合法权益的外国实体采取相关措施。
 

也就是说,对于那些伤害了我们企业的外企,进行所谓“断供”“封锁”的西方企业,将能进行强有力的反制措施!
