China adds 14 foreign entities, including tech consultancies, to 'unreliable entity list'
BEIJING, Oct 9 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry added 14 foreign organisations to its "unreliable entity list", it said in a statement on Thursday, restricting their ability to carry out commercial activities within the world's second-largest economy.
Some of the companies, which are mostly based in the United States, had carried out military and technological cooperation with Taiwan, or "made malicious remarks about China, and assisted foreign governments in suppressing Chinese companies", it said in a separate statement.
TechInsights, a prominent Canadian tech research firm, and nine of its subsidiaries including Strategy Analytics were among those blacklisted.
Last October, TechInsights took apart a Huawei AI processor and found a chip made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in it.
The U.S. had imposed export rules on the Shenzhen-based Huawei in 2020 to halt shipments of foreign-produced items to Huawei that are the direct product of U.S. technology or software, including TSMC's chips.
TechInsights did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The Halifax International Security Forum, an annual gathering of government and military officials in Canada, was also included in the list of sanctioned entities.
