US attacks China's Quantum research, spy balloons by adding 37 companies to ban list — Entity List aggressively targets potential military applications

US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

The Chip War rages on between the United States and China, as Biden's Commerce Department has added 37 Chinese entities involved in quantum technology to the Entity List under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), harshly restricting the flow of American resources to the targeted entities. 

37 entities in the most recent revision of the Entity List were added due to their involvement in quantum computing research or the China spy balloon incident.
