Chinese officials have been punching in succession these days to fight back the US companies such as upgrading the trade war and suppressing Chinese companies such as Huawei.Among them, the launch of the unreliable entity list system will allow those foreign companies that are actively or passively involved in sanctions against China, especially American companies, and feel chilling.

The Ministry of Commerce of China announced on May 31 that foreign enterprises, organizations or individuals that have a blockade or disconnected supply of Chinese enterprises for non -commercial purposes will be included in the list of unreliable entities.

Officials of the Ministry of Commerce said on June 1 that the unreliable entity list system documents and the first batch of lists will be released in the near future. The official will take necessary legal and administrative measures on the entities listed in the list.When these entities that have been included in the list are traded and associated, they are vigilant and prevent unreliable risks.

This unreliable entity list is actually the blacklist of the Chinese version. It is obviously imitating and sanctioning the physical list of foreign companies against the US Department of Commerce.After the U.S. Department of Commerce included Chinese companies such as Huawei on the entity list, Huawei was fully suppressed by the US government, company, and even academic organizations.

Chinese Ministry of Commerce officials also given the standard for listing the list the day before yesterday: First, whether the entity has an act on the implementation of a blockade, discrimination or other discriminatory measures for Chinese entities; second, whether the entity behavior is based on non -commercial purposes and violates the market in violation of the market.Rules and contract spirit; third, whether the entity behavior causes substantial damage to Chinese enterprises or related industries; fourth is whether the physical behavior pose a threat or potential threat to national security.

It is not difficult to see that those foreign companies such as Huawei and other Chinese companies, such as Google, Intel, Sailing, Qualcomm, and British ARM companies in the United States, and British ARM companies, etc., may enter the Chinese version of the blacklist.

At the same time, China believes that foreign entities that pose a threat or potential threat to their national security may also be on the list.This means that the official has great tailoring. If the trade war continues to upgrade, even if some foreign companies that have not participated in sanctioning Chinese entities may be blacklisted based on this standard.

Compared with the American version of the blacklist, China's unreliable entity list is a little more flexible.Officials from the Ministry of Commerce said that there will be a survey procedure to include foreign companies in the list. The relevant interests will have the right to defense, and the enterprises in the list will also make corresponding adjustments.

However, as soon as China announced the establishment of an unreliable entity list system, related actions were launched.Federal Express (Fedex), which has been operating in China for more than 30 years, has become the first goal.The company misused Huawei's four parcels to the United States not long ago, and was officially announced by the day before yesterday.

The CCTV News Broadcasting Bar officers commented late: Federal Express was investigated, and it would be a warning to other foreign companies, organizations and individuals that do not comply with Chinese laws and regulations.

Ma Junsheng, director of the National Post Office of China, is even more blunt that the investigation of the Federal Express Corporation is conducive to maintaining the order of the Chinese express market, also conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and users, and ensuring the security and economic security of China Post.

Although the Federal Express claims that the Huawei parcel incident is a mistake, and said that they will fully cooperate with any regulatory survey of how Federal Express will serve customers, the WeChat public account of the Beijing Daily Group will beThe arrogance between the lines is revealed.

It is foreseeable that even if the Chinese investigation is difficult to find out the exact evidence of the Federal Express by the US government, the Federal Express business in China may inevitably be punished by the wrong Huawei package.One of the companies.This is because, in the context of the comprehensive upgrade of the Sino -US trade war and so severe in the United States, the United States companies operating in China will inevitably become a victim of Chinese counterattacks in China.

But unlike the strategic goals of the United States to curb China's rise, China's counterattack is not to combat foreign companies in China, because these companies are positive factor to promote China's economic development, reform and opening up.In the final analysis, China's attitude towards the United States has had to fight. The purpose of fighting is to let the other party return to the negotiating table.
