US adds 29 foreign companies to its export blacklist, mostly in China and Turkey

The US Commerce Department just added 29 foreign companies and addresses to a list that restricts their access to American technology. Most of these are in China and Turkey, and the US government says they are acting against US national security or foreign policy interests.

Companies on this list cannot buy US-origin goods or technology without a special license. This makes it harder for them to operate, especially if their products rely on American components or software. It also signals to other companies that doing business with these entities carries a risk of US government scrutiny.
