The Biden administration approved 192 licenses worth over $23 billion to ship U.S. goods and technology to Chinese companies on a U.S. trade blacklist in the first quarter of last year, according to a document released by a U.S. congressional committee on Friday.
The Commerce Department defended the decisions.
"Every license reflected in this data -- which primarily involve exports of low-technology ...and other items that do not pose significant national security concerns ... was carefully reviewed," the agency said in a statement, explaining that the decisions are made by the Departments of Commerce, Defense, State, and Energy.
BIS also noted that licenses for some well-known Chinese companies are reviewed under policies set by the Trump administration that do not carry presumptions of denial. In addition, it pointed out that exporters generally submit license applications that have a higher likelihood of approval, that licenses are generally valid for four years, and that a substantial number are not fully utilized.
Between November 2020 and April 2021, suppliers to China's Huawei got 113 licenses worth $61 billion, and another 188 licenses valued at nearly $42 billion were greenlighted for Semiconductor Manufacturing International CorpThe House Foreign Affairs Committee gave consent to release the latest data this week, but McCaul only disclosed the $23 billion figure and not the details on the number of licenses at Tuesday's hearing on combating Chinese aggression.
