The past couple of weeks have been particularly rough for Huawei thanks to a US government directive asking all US-based companies to cease doing business with the Chinese telecommunications behemoth. As a result, Huawei can no longer use Android on its devices, along with a host of other technologies that make a smartphone tick. The U.S. could potentially add new companies to the entities list such as Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co. and Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. In what looks like a response to the US cracking down on Huawei, the Chinese government is reportedly working on its own version of a blacklist that may target US-based firms.

The Chinese Commerce Ministry’s spokesperson Gao said in a statement to Bloomberg that the list would include companies that pose a threat or potential threat to national security. The list will also include foreign enterprises, organizations and individuals that don’t obey market rules, violate contracts and block, cut off supply for non-commercial reasons or severely damage the legitimate interests of Chinese companies. China is setting up the list to protect international economic and trade rules and the multilateral trading system, to oppose unilateralism and trade protectionism, and to safeguard China’s national security, social and public interests.
