Details
The US government has decided to hold off on adding over 100 Chinese companies—including DeepSeek and CXMT (a memory chip manufacturer)—to the trade blacklist (Entity List), which had been under review over national security risk concerns.
The decision is seen as reflecting the Trump administration's stance of trying to avoid escalating diplomatic tensions with Beijing. These companies have been under surveillance and subject to potential regulation by the US government since last year, and this hold is expected to ease regulatory uncertainty for the time being.
