"

Speaking with the TimeJames Lewis, senior researcher at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Trump's move was unprecedented and inappropriate.

"The list of entities is reserved for our most dangerous opponents," said Lewis. "Previously, you had to be a country supporting terrorism or a proliferator, so it's a new chapter."

As a result, Trump's decision increased tensions, the Chinese Commerce Ministry reportedly "compiled a list of foreign companies and individuals deemed" unreliable ", which would be a response to the US decision to put Huawei on the blacklist, added the Times The Chinese government also summoned major technology companies from the United States and elsewhere to warn them that they could face serious consequences if they cooperated with the ban.
