On May 22, 2020, the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced it will add 33 Chinese entities to the Entity List, signaling that the Trump Administration will continue its current course to further control export to Chinese entities it deems problematic. Once the 33 entities are added into the Entity List, the export, re-export, or in-country transfer of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations to such entities will be prohibited without Department of Commerce authorization.
