Three measures agreed to by senior US officials in a meeting last Wednesday, but not finalised, would introduce hurdles that could be used to stop Chinese companies from buying certain optical materials, radar equipment and semiconductors, among other things, from the United States. China hardliners within the administration say it is time to update US rules in light of the Chinese policy, since some US shipments abroad are authorised based in large part on whether they will be used for civilian or military applications.
“There’s a chilling effect when they start taking away the availability of these license exceptions for particular exports,” said Washington trade lawyer Eric McClafferty. “It makes people more nervous to export to China.” Doug Jacobson, another Washington lawyer who specialises in trade, said that several of his clients were concerned about the elimination of the civilian exemption, mainly companies involved with electronics.“In terms of whether that would lead to denials, who knows? But it would be an additional hurdle to jump through for a US company to sell to commercial end users in China.”
