On the 12th, the US government listed 43 entities in the "Entity List" of international trade export control, for reasons including their participation in training Chinese military pilots and other so-called "threats to US national security" activities. Wang Wenbin, spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said at a regular press conference on the 13th that the United States has reached the point of hysteria and unscrupulous in order to maintain its military and technological hegemony. China firmly opposes the above measures of the United States, and demands that the United States stop abusing the "Entity List" and other international trade export control tools to curb and suppress Chinese enterprises.

According to Reuters, a total of 31 entities in China were added to the "Entity List" this time, as well as entities in the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, South Africa, Kenya, Malaysia and other countries. All entities on the list will be restricted from obtaining international trade export products from the United States.

Bloomberg News reported that the United States Department of Commerce claimed in a press release that these entities were added to the "list" because of the so-called use of Western and NATO resources to provide training for Chinese military pilots, and that some companies purchased US origin goods to support China's military modernization, including the development of Hypersonic weapon, which violated the national security and diplomatic interests of the United States. Matthew Axelrod, the assistant secretary of the United States Department of Commerce in charge of international trade export law enforcement, threatened in a statement: "We must prevent China from acquiring US technology and know-how in order to realize its military modernization plan." In addition, the United States Department of Commerce also listed two Chinese entities on the list for the reason of "helping China commit human rights violations".

Song Zhongping, a military expert, told the Global Times on the 13th that from the entities added to the list by the United States Department of Commerce this time, the United States believes that these global scientific and technological commanding heights should be held by the United States, and China is not allowed to take the lead. In the view of the United States, the game between China and the United States is systematic, and the military and aviation fields are only part of it. In the Future International, international trade competition will become more and more fierce, so we should have enough psychological preparation.

Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated in an interview with Global Times reporters that senior US officials have repeatedly mentioned in their recent statements that "security, human rights, democracy" should be given top priority, even if the measures taken harm economic interests, which lays the groundwork for today's US operations. The fact that the United States has pulled Chinese enterprises into the "Entity List" without evidence reflects the status quo of "pan security" in the United States, which considers issues more from a geopolitical perspective than the interests of the American people.
