BEIJING, June 8 (Xinhua) -- The National Development and Reform Commission has been tasked with organizing a study on establishing a national technological security management list system, Xinhua learned Saturday.

The move, which is taken according to the National Security Law and other related laws and regulations, aims to "more effectively forestall and defuse national security risks," the commission said.

The detailed measures will be unveiled in the near future.

Finally, China has a good reason to do what she wants to do for a long time.

If Google wants to cut Huawei off from Android, China will respond by suddenly and without warning stopping all Google Pixel 3 production. Get the hell out of China!

The industrial structure of today's world is a complex supply chain system. The US does control high-end technology in many fields, but China is the world's largest manufacturing base, which has mastered and innovated various practical technologies. The global supply chain cannot operate without China. China is capable of impacting the US supply chain through certain technical controls.

China recently indicated a probable cut-off of rare-earth products to the US. Although the US may take various measures to alleviate such a shock, it will be messy. China is the world's largest producer and exporter of rare earths, and leads the global field in its mastery of rare-earth refining technology.

The US claims that some foreign-funded enterprises will leave China and move to Southeast Asian countries. This is an oversimplified view. Making Southeast Asian countries the US barrier to contain China goes against the will of those countries. It is not only technically difficult, but will never be allowed by China.

China has sufficient capacity and the means to upset any such plan of the US. China will establish a non-reliable entity list and a national technological security management list system, but China will not abuse them to arbitrarily suppress cooperative foreign companies. China cherishes the environment provided by reform and opening-up and protects the interests of all enterprises cooperating normally with China. China's newly established mechanisms will be strictly limited to safeguarding China's national security. Only foreign companies that have harmed China's high-tech enterprise security and national security by actual actions will be targeted.

Finally, China is equipping itself with the required regulatory tools. This is a page from the US play book. But China will play it more carefully and it will eventually be used to counter US long-arm jurisdiction on China companies with China's jurisdiction on US companies.

I guess Europeans will learn from this, too.
