It's our turn to counterattack, and this time we're striking hard! We won't tolerate America's provocations. After the United States added several of our enterprises to its so-called list of Chinese military companies, we have responded in kind. On June 22, the Ministry of Commerce announced that 10 U.S. entities have been placed on an export control blacklist. The retaliatory measures against these ten companies are clear: export operators are prohibited from supplying dual-use items to the aforementioned 10 entities; furthermore, no organization or individual from any country or region may transfer or provide dual-use items originating from China to these entities.
Evidently, this move sends a crystal-clear message to the United States: we will not tolerate unwarranted pressure and sanctions. All ten targeted companies are U.S. defense and military-industrial enterprises, covering military drones, airborne radar systems, naval vessel equipment, military vehicles, and core processes in rare earth material processing—key players indispensable to the U.S. military equipment manufacturing chain.
Our sanctions go beyond simply cutting off these ten companies' access to rare earth supplies; they effectively constitute what can be described as "secondary sanctions"—prohibiting any entity or individual anywhere in the world from transferring or providing dual-use items originally from China to these designated U.S. firms. In short, any foreign company assisting a U.S. firm in obtaining Chinese rare earths or dual-use items will itself face our sanctions.
That’s right—we are now responding to America with its own tactics, forcing it to personally experience the real impact of unilateral sanctions. Clearly, unilateral sanctions are not America’s exclusive privilege. Anyone who harms China’s national security and industrial interests will face equivalent, forceful countermeasures—this is the new rule of the game. If America has the capability, let it figure out how to solve its own critical raw material supply bottlenecks.
