The U.S. stepped up its tech war with China, again

President Trump is scheduled to meet with President Xi Jinping of China at the Group of 20 summit this week in Osaka, Japan. Their conversation, which could determine whether the trade war between the two countries ends or persists indefinitely, could be clouded by technology.

• America is continuing to undermine Chinese access to U.S. technology, just as officials from both sides are trying to jump-start trade talks.

• “The Trump administration is examining whether to require that next-generation 5G cellular equipment used in the U.S. be designed and manufactured outside China, according to people familiar with the matter,” the WSJ reports.

• The U.S. also added five more Chinese entities to a blacklist on Friday, including the supercomputer maker Sugon, effectively barring them from buying U.S. technology and components without a waiver, Ana Swanson, Paul Mozur and Steve Lohr of the NYT report.
