China's commerce ministry said Tuesday it will defend the rights of its research institutions after the United States added them to an export control list. The statement did not name the specific institutions or detail the planned response.
The US move, announced last week, placed several Chinese entities on the Entity List. The list restricts their access to American technology and components. It targets universities and research centers involved in advanced fields such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
