BGI Group Companies added to Export Ban Entity List

On 2 March 2023, the US Bureau of Industry and Security added 28 Chinese companies to the Entity List (established under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)), a list of trade restrictions imposed on foreign persons, entities or governments. The 28 Chinese companies added include BGI Research and BGI Tech Solutions, part of the BGI Group, an organisation that deals with genetic data and medical research. According to the US government, the BGI companies were added to the list because of claims that they pose a risk by allegedly contributing to Chinese government surveillance through collection and analysis of genetic data.
