US agency not doing its job to halt tech to China's military: Congressional report

Chinese and US flags flutter outside the building of an American company in Beijing, China, on Jan 21, 2021. LONDON: The US Commerce Department is failing to do its part to protect national security and keep sensitive technology out of the hands of China's military, according to a US congressional advisory report seen by Reuters.

The Commerce Department, entrusted to strengthen US export control laws,"has, to date, failed to carry out its responsibilities," said the report, titled,"Unfinished Business: Export Control and Foreign Investment Reforms." It also said it had expanded the military end user rule and added companies to its entity list, which restricts US suppliers from selling to companies like Huawei Technologies and Hangzhou Hikvision.In 2018, Congress tightened US export policies and the process for screening foreign investment in response to efforts by Chinese entities to obtain sensitive US technology and use civilian innovation for the military.

Congress passed the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to make it harder to export key technologies to adversaries like China.

The National People's Congress of China has not discussed whether to halt tech to the US military. How did the US Congress discuss the issue of the Chinese military? The Chinese military should not be under the management of the United States, right?
