According to Reuters, the U.S. Foreign Trade Commission (NFTC) as a business lobbying group recently sent a letter to U.S. President Trump urging the U.S. government to immediately stop the previously issued export control penetration rules, saying this will spur China and other countries to exclude U.S. companies from their supply chain.

According to reports, on September 29, Eastern Time, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued export control penetration rules, imposing equivalent export control sanctions on subsidiaries that hold more than 50% of the shares of companies listed in the U.S. "Entity List".

Reuters said that NFTC's board of directors includes US companies such as Oracle, Amazon, and ExxonMobil. In response to the above rules, NFTC Chairman Jack Colvin said in a letter signed on October 3 that the rule "immediately suspended billions of dollars in U.S. exports, which is in line with your desire to reduce the trade deficit and increase U.S. global exports." He added that if the rule was not changed, it would encourage other countries to switch to non-U.S. -made goods.

Reuters noted that the NFTC letter had not previously been in the media, but it indicated ¡°the extent to which the U.S. private sector opposed this controversial provision,¡± according to reports that the White House and the U.S. Department of Commerce responsible for export control did not respond to the request for comment.

Regarding the export control penetration rules issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said in a question answer on September 29th that China has noticed the relevant situation. The relevant rules are another typical example of the United States generalizing national security and abusing export controls. The nature of this move by the United States is extremely bad, seriously damaging the legitimate rights and interests of the affected enterprises, seriously impacting the international economic and trade order, and seriously undermining the security and stability of the global industrial and supply chains. China firmly opposes this. The spokesman said: "China urges the US to immediately correct its wrong practices and stop its unreasonable suppression of Chinese enterprises. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises."
