Beijing Opposes U.S. Rule on Technology Imports: Weekly blog #8



Beijing Opposes U.S. Rule on Technology Imports
This article discusses the United States ruling that will be limiting Chinese made technology imports.  As one would imagine China is not pleased with the ruling.  This ruling has seemed to add to the amount of growing tension between China and the US.  The tension began when the US accused china of backing a Thursday.  It will require NASA and the US justice of commerce to seek approval from law enforcement before purchasing IT equipment from China.  Currently China imports nearly 129 billion dollars worth of technology equipment.  China has stated that this ruling will significantly affect the relationship and trust between the two countries.  The Chinese People’s Daily paper stated “This abuse of so called national security measures is unfair to Chinese enterprises, and extends the discriminatory practice of presumption of guilt.”  The US ruling is said to be in violation of the WTO, but nothing can be done about the matter on the part of the Chinese because they did not sign the agreement that set international rules.  I feel as though this was a terrible move made by the American government.  With all of the problems that we are facing with North Korea, I don’t think it is a proper time to stir the pot with other international super powers.
