CNOOC acts as a bully for the People’s Liberation Army to intimidate China’s neighbors, and the Chinese military continues to benefit from government civil-military fusion policies for malign purposes.

[Sec. Wilbur Ross @SecretaryRoss]

China’s reckless and belligerent actions in the South China Sea and its aggressive push to acquire sensitive intellectual property and technology for its militarization efforts are a threat to U.S. national security and the security of the international community.

We must ensure our controls prevent U.S. persons, wherever located, from supporting unauthorized WMD activities around the globe. Today’s important updates to the U.S. export control system achieve these two goals and enhance our national security.

[Sec. Wilbur Ross @SecretaryRoss]

We cannot allow the foreign military-intelligence organizations of our adversaries in China, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, and other terrorist-supporting nations to benefit from U.S. technology or U.S. services to support their destabilizing activities.
