Washington: The United States has added six subsidiaries of the Inspoor Group, China’s leading cloud computing and Big Data Service Provider, and dozens of other Chinese institutions have been included in their export ban list – some of which are also located in Pakistan.
The Department of Commerce said in a posting, Inspur units were listed to contribute to the development of supercomputers for the Chinese army. Five assistant companies are located in China and one in Taiwan. The Inspur Group was placed in the list in 2023.
Inspire units are one of the about 80 companies and institutions added to the export control list on Tuesday. More than 50 are located in China, while others are in Taiwan, Iran, Pakistan, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
The listing aims to restrict China’s high-demonstration computing capabilities, quantum technologies and the ability to develop advanced AI, and inhibit the development of Beijing’s own hypersonic weapons program.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik said, “We will not allow opponents to take advantage of American technology, so that they can increase their own terrorists and threaten American life.”
Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy in Washington said on Tuesday that it “strongly opposed these acts done by the US and demands that it immediately stop using politicizations, instruments and weapons business and technical issues as pretexts using military-related issues”.
It should be noted that the US connects companies to the unit list of the Department of Commerce for national security or foreign policy concerns, which then cannot sell goods to listed people without licensing and to obtain licenses, which are likely to be denied.
Commerce official Jeffrey Casler stated that the administration aims to “prevent American technologies and goods from misuse of high-demonstrations, hypersonic missiles, military aircraft training and UAV (drone), which threatens our national security.”
The Inspector Group did not immediately respond to the remarks request.
Nvidia refused to comment, and AMD immediately did not respond to the remarks request.
The Chinese firm Nettrix Information Industry cum, Suma Technology cum, and Suma-USI Electronics, are among other companies added in the list.
The US stated that they were added to help develop the Chinese Excise Super Computer, which could process the huge amounts of data at a very high speed and conduct mass simulation.
The Department of Commerce said that companies have also provided manufacturing capacity to Sugon, also known as Daving Information Industry Company, a computer server manufacturer added to the unit list in 2019.
Companies could not be immediately reached for comment.
Other companies were added to the list to achieve US-origin goods to carry forward China’s quantum technology capabilities, and to sell products to companies that supply other listed parties, including Huawei, were seen at the center of China’s AI ambitions.
