Us Military Technology

US on Friday said that it was adding dozens of Chinese companies, including the country's top chipmaker SMIC and Chinese drone manufacturer SZ DJI Technology to a trade blacklist. The US Commerce Department said the action against SMIC stems from Beijing's efforts to harness civilian technologies for military purposes.

The Trump administration is close to declaring that 89 Chinese aerospace and other companies have military ties, restricting them from buying a range of U.S. goods and technology, according to a draft copy of the list seen by Reuters.

A Chinese American engineer has been sentenced to 38 months in prison on charges of exporting sensitive military technology to China, the US Department of Justice has said.

China must engage in a new "long march" in the technology sector now that the US has imposed export restrictions on Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), the country's largest chip manufacturer, Chinese state-backed tabloid the Global Times wrote.

SMIC, China’s leading maker of semiconductors, has denied it has any links to the military following reports that Washington is considering stepping up its feud with Beijing over technology and security by imposing export controls that could disrupt manufacturing for a national industrial champion.

The Trump administration has determined that top Chinese firms, including telecoms equipment giant Huawei Technologies and video surveillance company Hikvision, are owned or controlled by the Chinese military, laying the groundwork for new US financial sanctions, according to a document seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

The Pentagon awarded its controversial $10 billion cloud computing business to Microsoft Friday evening, spurning a bid from Amazon, which had been expected to win the contract. President Donald Trump had expressed opposition to giving the lucrative award to a company led by Jeff Bezos, a regular target of his ire.

United Technologies agreed on Sunday to combine its aerospace business with US contractor Raytheon Co and create a new company worth about $121 billion.

The United States warned China on Saturday against threatening its neighbours' sovereignty and said Washington was investing in new military technology in the next five years to keep Asia stable.

Microsoft said in a statement Friday that it is committed to working with the military, including the Army under the HoloLens contract.

Microsoft President Brad Smith has said that the software giant is willing to "provide the US military with access to all the technology" it creates.

The U.S. Army is investing millions of dollars in experimental exoskeleton technology to make soldiers stronger and more resilient, in what experts say is part of a broader push into advanced gear to equip a new generation of "super-soldiers."

The Trump administration has said that it will "sharply restrict" exports of civilian nuclear technology to China. The statement comes at a time when officials in Washington believe Beijing has been "diverting civilian nuclear technology to power the new generations of Chinese submarines, aircraft carriers and floating nuclear power plants."

A long-negotiated defence pact under which critical and encrypted defence technologies will be provided to the Indian military by the US was inked on Thursday in New Delhi after the two countries held their first 2+2 dialogue. They also discussed key issues, including cross-border terrorism, India's NSG bid and the contentious H1B visa issue.

In what is being seen as a crucial military and political engagement, India and the United States have signed a path-breaking agreement COMCASA or Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement on Thursday. The agreement will allow India to get advanced encrypted military technology and hardware from the United States. US Secretary of State Mi...
