U.S. Adds 24 Chinese Firms 

to Restricted List on South China 

Sea

The U.S. Department of Commerce added 24 Chinese companies to a list of entities that face restrictions on the ground that they pose security risks.

The move targets the companies for their efforts to help China “reclaim and militarize disputed outposts in the South China Sea,” according to a statement on Wednesday from the department.

In a separate statement, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said the U.S. “will begin imposing visa restrictions on People’s Republic of China (PRC) individuals responsible for, or complicit in, either the large-scale reclamation, construction, or militarization of disputed outposts in the South China Sea, or the PRC’s use of coercion against Southeast Asian claimants to inhibit their access to offshore resources.”

The targeted firms are:
