A number of Democratic senators, including Senate Minority Leader Schumer, criticized the Trump administration, pointing out that Washington has suspended a measure aimed at preventing thousands of Chinese companies from obtaining U.S. technology in the new round of Sino-U.S. trade negotiations, and said that this suspension of controls weakened U.S. national security and made it more difficult to prevent U.S.-made semiconductors and other advanced technologies from flowing to Chinese state-related entities.
The lawmakers pointed out that this one-year suspension has reopened "a loophole," giving companies on the blacklist a "full year to reorganize and circumvent the regulations."
In response, White House spokesperson DeSalle stated: "The Trump administration has implemented strict export control systems to protect the U.S. economy and national security."
