The United States authorities approve of most of the export requests in the field of technology. Experts fear that Beijing uses this to strengthen his military potential, writes The Wall Street Journal with reference to the documents of the Ministry of Trade of the United States.
According to the agency, from the total exports from the USA to China in 2020, $ 125 billion officials needed a license for less than half a percent. From this share, the agency approved 94%, or 2652 applications for technology export to China. Most of them are dual -use goods, that is, those that can use both for the civilian industry and to create weapons.
Despite the declared confrontation of Washington and Beijing, the United States continues to send semiconductors, aerospace components, artificial intelligence technologies and other components that the PRC can use for its army and military-industrial complex.
