Beijing targets 14 entities, most of them based in the US, on the same day it imposed new rare earth export controls

Beijing has announced sanctions on a slew of Western companies and institutions in the defence and intelligence sectors – including a leading semiconductor data analysis provider – marking its latest salvo amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States.

Fourteen entities, mostly headquartered in the US, were added to Beijing’s unreliable entity list on Thursday, banning them from trade and investment in China, according to a statement from the Ministry of Commerce.

Among the companies on the list is TechInsights, a Canada-based firm specialising in semiconductor intelligence, reverse engineering and market analysis.
