On Tuesday, the United States added scores of Chinese companies to its list of export restrictions, including six subsidiaries of Inspur Group, the country’s top provider of cloud computing and big data services.
According to a posting from the Commerce Department, the Inspur units were recognized for their contributions to the creation of supercomputers for the Chinese military. One subsidiary is headquartered in Taiwan, and the other five are in China. Inspur Group itself was placed on the list in 2023.
The Inspur units are among about 80 companies and institutes added to the export control list on Tuesday. Over 50 are based in China. Others are in Taiwan, Iran, Pakistan, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
