US plans wider China tech curbs targeting subsidiaries
(Bloomberg) — The Trump administration plans to broaden restrictions on China's tech sector with new regulations to capture subsidiaries of companies under US curbs. ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars NYC Residents Want Safer Streets, Cheaper Housing, Survey Says The Buffalo Architect Fighting for Women in Design Officials are drafting a rule that would impose US government licensing requirements on transactions with companies that are majority-owned by already-sanctioned firms, according to people familiar with the matter. Some of China's biggest semiconductor design and fabrication firms are subject to US sanctions via the so-called Entity List, from Huawei Technologies Co. to Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., as part of a far-reaching US campaign to rein in a geopolitical rival's technological ascent. The goal of the new policy is to prevent workarounds to the curbs via the creation of new subsidiaries — a trend that's produced what some US policymakers describe as a whack-a-mole problem. The White House and Commerce Department didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. The move risks deepening tensions between the world's two largest economies, especially after President Donald Trump accused China on Friday of violating the spirit of recent negotiations in Geneva. Export controls imposed by Washington to limit China's access to advanced semiconductors have angered Chinese officials, while a crackdown by Beijing on exports of critical minerals has sparked outrage among Trump officials. The rule — which would harmonize a 50% ownership threshold across the Entity List, Military End-User list and Specially Designated Nationals list — could be unveiled as soon as June, said the people, who asked not to be named to discuss private deliberations. The SDN list from the Office of Foreign Assets Control already uses such an approach. The people emphasized that the contents and timing of the rule and related sanctions are not yet finalized and could still change. After the rule is published, the US is likely to move forward with new sanctions on major Chinese companies, the people said. Trump officials have been considering sanctioning Changxin Memory Technologies Inc. and slapping curbs on parts of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.'s business that are not currently subject to US controls, Bloomberg News reported in February. CXMT in January was found to have advanced its chipmaking technology faster than anticipated, despite US controls on exports of advanced technology to China. Landon Heid, President Donald Trump's nominee for a senior position at the Commerce Department, floated the subsidiary rule idea in his confirmation hearing in early April. The House Foreign Affairs Committee also recommended such an approach in a report from late 2023, describing the existing use of the Entity List as 'ineffective' and in need of reform. —With assistance from Jennifer A. Dlouhy, Skylar Woodhouse and Michael Shepard. (Corrects sixth paragraph to make clear the idea is to unify approaches across multiple sanctions lists.)

Who is Hafiz Abdur Rauf? Man leading funeral of terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor
Hafiz Abdur Rauf NEW DELHI: Hafiz Abdur Rauf , who led the funeral of terrorists killed in the May 7 " Operation Sindoor ," has been called out as a "common man." As soon as the pictures of him being present at the funerals went out, the Pakistani army called him a "common man." Pakistan's top official, DG ISPR Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, during a press conference, shared Rauf's details, including his national ID number, birth date, and family information. "This man is Hafiz Abdur Rauf, who is actually leading the prayers. He has three daughters, son and he was born in March 1973. You can see his family details and everything," Chaudhry had said in a presentation during a press conference on Sunday in which he had shown Rauf's details. Chaudhary also claimed that Abdul Rauf was a preacher and a member of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML) party. Press Information Bureau's fact-check unit exposed Pakistan's another lie and said that the identity details shared by DG ISPR completely overlap with the details of Hafiz Abdur Rauf, a member of LeT's senior leadership since at least 1999 and part of the US sanctions list . Who is Hafiz Abdur Rauf? Hafiz Abdul Rauf is a 'specially designated global terrorist ' (SDGT) by the US department of treasury and is also on the SDN (Specially Designated Nationals) list of the US government. According to the US treasury department, Hafiz Abdul Rauf, a member of LeT's senior leadership since 1999, is the chief of Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation , operating LeT's relief activities in disguise. Earlier, India had pointed out Pakistan's connection to terrorism, citing a viral image of Rauf leading funeral prayers for LeT militants killed during Operation Sindoor, attended by senior Pakistani officials, with a wreath from Maryam Nawaz, Pakistan's Punjab's chief minister and prime minister Shehbaz Sharif's niece.
