Chinese Companies Added to the US Blacklist in 2025

China and the United States have a complicated relationship. The two countries are deeply connected economically, but they are also both competing for global influence. While the U.S. remains more dominant in many domains (military, soft power, alliances), China is in a more reactive or rising position. The tension between the two countries is further exacerbated by “the trade war, the pandemic, growing technology competition, rising tensions in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, and contrasting approaches to the Russia-Ukraine conflict,” according to a CSIS analysis. Other points of tension revolve around human rights issues (Xinjiang, Hong Kong), cybersecurity/espionage, competition over global governance institutions (e.g. in WTO, UN), and the climate and clean-energy race. As a result, many Chinese companies have been blacklisted over the years.

To find the most recently blacklisted companies or entities from China, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the entity list. The reasons are as noted in the Federal Register. All companies listed were added in 2025.

Being on the Entity List does not automatically mean that all dealings with that entity are banned. It means that U.S. exporters must obtain a license for certain transactions, and many licenses might be denied. Some transactions may still be allowed. Additionally, the entities being added have rights to response or appeals; designations may be modified or reversed.

This post was updated September 30, 2025 to feature 2025 blacklisted companies, as well as to clarify how the Entity List functions, points of contention between the U.S. and China, and that America is still the dominant country in many respects.

Why It Matters

The U.S.-China relations have been increasingly tense. In fact, about 42% of Americans believe China to be an enemy of the U.S., according to an April Pew Research survey. While some believe a disastrous military conflict could happen, others point to actions that could be taken to avoid further tensions. Either way, the government keeps track of companies and entities (from all countries) that could pose a threat to national security or oppose foreign policy interests of the United States.
