All Eyes Back on China's Own Entity List as US-China Battle Heats Up

U.S.-China hostilities have been pretty one-sided so far, but China has vowed to retaliate starting with measures targeting U.S. companies

U.S. companies in China are increasingly caught in the crosshairs of growing hostilities between the two countries. The Trump administration's latest measures targeting China could spur on China to bring forward plans to squeeze U.S. companies out of its market as Beijing prepares for retaliation.

For over a year now, the Chinese government has been working on an "unreliable entity list," in response to the U.S. "Entity List". But unlike the Entity List's focus on export controls, China's list could result in broader impact on foreign companies in both formal and informal ways, including market access and licensing restrictions.
