US Should Reverse Entity List Additions, China Says

China's Ministry of Commerce said this week the U.S. should immediately reverse its decision to add several Chinese entities to its Entity List (see 2303020083). The ministry said the move was "typical economic bullying" and China will take "necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies," according to an unofficial translation. The Entity List designations are an "excuse to practice unilateralism and protectionism," the ministry said.
