United States sanctions against China explained

The United States government applies economic sanctions against certain institutions and key members of the Chinese government and its ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP), certain companies linked to the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and other affiliates that the US government has accused of aiding in human rights abuses. The US maintained embargoes against China from the inception of the People's Republic of China in 1949 until 1972. An embargo was reimposed by the US following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. From 2020 onward, the US imposed sanctions and visa restrictions against several Chinese government officials and companies, in response to the persecution of Uyghurs in China, human rights abuses in Hong Kong and Tibet, military-civil fusion, support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and fentanyl production.

Economic sanctions and export controls against China are administered and enforced by the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), respectively.

History

Due to concerns about national security and human rights, the United States has gradually increased sanctions against Chinese businesses and organizations. According to the United States Department of Commerce, 721 Chinese businesses, organizations, and individuals have been added to a "entity list" that restricts their ability to purchase goods from the United States.[1]

Sanctions in the early PRC (1949–1979)

After the establishment of Communist rule in China in 1949, an embargo against the sale of military technology or infrastructure, previously levied against the Soviet Union, was expanded to include the newly established People's Republic of China.[2] Following the onset of the Korean War, further trade restrictions were imposed.[3] According to academic Chun Lin, the embargo resulted in increased Chinese nationalism.[4]

The trade embargo was lifted under President Richard Nixon in 1972 right before the opening of China and establishment of official relations.[5]

Sanctions after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre

Following the Tiananmen Square massacre, the Bush Sr. administration imposed an arms embargo against the PRC after the massacre of the protesters.[6]

Sanctions related to military support for Iran

The United States has sanctioned and prosecuted Chinese companies and individuals for providing material assistance to Iran's missile program. In 2014, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Sinotech Dalian Carbon and Graphite Manufacturing Corporation for helping Iran buy parts to produce ballistic missiles.[7] In June 2023, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Zhejiang Qingji and other entities in China and Hong Kong for selling centrifuge equipment to Iran.[8] [9] In September 2023, six Chinese entities were sanctioned for allegedly assisting the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industries Corporation make drones to attack oil tankers and for export to Russia's military.[10]

Sanctions under the Trump administration

Ban of Huawei and ZTE equipment

See also: Entity List. In August 2018, President Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (NDAA 2019) which banned Huawei and ZTE equipment from being used by the U.S. federal government, citing security concerns.[11] [12] [13]

In addition, on 15 May 2019, the Department of Commerce added Huawei and 70 foreign subsidiaries and "affiliates" to its Entity List under the Export Administration Regulations, citing the company having been indicted for "knowingly and willfully causing the export, re-export, sale and supply, directly and indirectly, of goods, technology and services (banking and other financial services) from the United States to Iran and the government of Iran without obtaining a license from the Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)".[14] This restricts U.S. companies from doing business with Huawei without a government license.[15] [16] [17] [18] Various U.S.-based companies immediately froze their business with Huawei to comply with the regulation.[19] That same year, it was determined that Huawei also provided equipment to build North Korea’s 3G network.[20]

Currency manipulator designation

In August 2019, the United States Department of the Treasury designated China a currency manipulator,[21] [22] which resulted in China being excluded from U.S. government procurement contracts.[23] The designation was withdrawn in January 2020 after China agreed to refrain from devaluing its currency to make its own goods cheaper for foreign buyers.[24]

Sanctions under Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act

See main article: Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act.

On July 9, 2020, the Trump administration imposed sanctions and visa restrictions against senior Chinese officials, including CCP Politburo member Chen Quanguo, Zhu Hailun, Wang Mingshan (Chinese: [[:zh:王明山|王明山]]) and Huo Liujun (Chinese: 霍留军). With sanctions, they and their immediate relatives are barred from entering the US and will have US-based assets frozen.[25] In response, the Chinese government announced sanctions against US Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and other American officials.[26]

Sanctions under Hong Kong Autonomy Act

See main article: Hong Kong Autonomy Act and Executive Order 13936.

In August 2020, Chief Executive Carrie Lam and ten other Hong Kong government officials were sanctioned by the United States Department of the Treasury under an executive order by President Trump for undermining Hong Kong's autonomy.[27] [28] [29] The sanction is based on the Hong Kong Autonomy Act and Lam would be listed in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.

On December 7, 2020, pursuant to the order, the US Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on 14 Vice Chairpersons of the National People's Congress of China, for "undermining Hong Kong's autonomy and restricting the freedom of expression or assembly".[30]

Prohibition of investment in companies linked to China’s military

On November 12, 2020, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13959, titled "Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Communist Chinese Military Companies". The executive order prohibits all U.S. investors (institutional and retail investors alike) from purchasing or investing in securities of companies identified by the U.S. Department of Defense as "Communist Chinese military companies."[31] [32] As of January 14, 2021, 44 Chinese companies were identified. Five of these companies are to be delisted by the New York Stock Exchange by March 2021.[33] On January 13, 2021, the executive order was amended to require divestment from the companies by November 11, 2021.[34]

Section 1260H of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 requires the US Department of Defense to release the names of all "Chinese military companies" operating directly or indirect in the United States.[35] [36]

Some of these controls began immediately whereas others became effective on October 12, 2022, and October 21, 2022.[50] [51] [52]

In March 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce added 28 additional Chinese firms to the Entity List, including Inspur and Loongson, for acquiring American technology in support of the PLA.[53] [54] In October 2023, the Department of Commerce added Biren Technology and Moore Threads to the Entity List.[55] [56]
