​The Point丨Protectionism has long been outdated

The Point丨Protectionism has long been outdated

On December 2, local time, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amended the new Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to add 140 China-related entities to the "Entity List".

In recent years, the US has repeatedly added many Chinese companies to the Entity List. As of April 2024, BIS has issued an "entity list" for China as many as 37 times, including as many as 12 times in 2023 alone.

The U.S. government is like Smaug in the Lord of the Rings movie, treating high-end chips as its own treasure and not allowing others to get their hands on it. This kind of trade protectionism thinking has long been outdated.

当地时间12月2日，美国商务部工业和安全局（BIS）修订了新的《出口管理条例》（EAR），将140个中国相关实体添加到“实体清单”。

近年来，美方多次将众多中国企业列入“实体清单”。截至2024年4月，BIS针对中国发布的“实体清单”高达37次，其中仅2023年就多达12次。

美国政府就像《指环王》电影里的史矛格，把高端芯片视为自己的财宝，不允许别人染指。这种贸易保护主义思维，早已过时。
