The Trump administration identified 58 Chinese and 45 Russian companies with alleged military ties that restrict them from buying a wide range of US goods and technology.

The final list with 103 entities appears on the Commerce Department website.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the list would assist US exporters in detecting their customers' military ties.

The Trump administration recently added dozens of Chinese companies to another US trade blacklist, including chipmaker SMIC and drone manufacturer SZ DJI Technology Co Ltd.

Last spring, the Commerce Department expanded the definition of “military end-users” to include not only armed service and national police but any person or entity supporting or contributing to the maintenance or production of military items.

US companies are required to obtain licenses to sell to the firms with “military end user” designation, which are more likely to be denied than granted. The Commerce Department also requires US companies to conduct due diligence to help decide whether their buyers are considered military end-users.
