This action is taken under the Export Control Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations on the Export Control of Dual-Use Items, among other relevant laws and regulations. The stated purpose is to safeguard national security and interests, and to fulfill international obligations such as non-proliferation.
The following measures will be applied to the listed entities:
First, export operators are prohibited from exporting dual-use items to these 14 entities. Overseas organizations and individuals are also banned from transferring or providing dual-use items originating from the People's Republic of China to these entities.
