Biden White House Set to Pull Chinese Companies From Red-Flag Trade List

President Joe Biden is set to pull a number of Chinese companies from a 
red-flag trade list, a move that comes as the Democrat and other 
administration officials stress the need for cooperation with the 
communist nation on climate change.

Biden's Commerce Department plans to remove an undisclosed number of 
Chinese entities from its so-called unverified list, which includes 
foreign companies that the United States cannot tour in person "to 
determine whether they can be trusted to receive sensitive technology 
exports," Reuters reported Wednesday. American officials must receive 
approval from China's commerce ministry to inspect any Chinese 
company—approval that Beijing has been unwilling to grant in the past. 
Once the decision is finalized, U.S. exporters "will no longer have to 
conduct additional due diligence before sending goods" to the Chinese 
companies removed from the list, according to Reuters.

Both Biden and his climate czar, John Kerry, have expressed a desire to 
work with China on climate change in recent weeks. In a Nov. 14 meeting 
with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Biden "underscored that the United States 
and China must work together to address transnational challenges such as 
climate change … because that is what the international community 
expects," a White House readout of the meeting shows. Kerry, meanwhile, 
lamented in October that geopolitical tension between the United States 
and China interrupted the two nation's climate talks.

Biden has pledged to transition the United States away from fossil fuels 
and toward a "green" economy, which the Democrat says will be "truly made 
in America." China's dominance of the green energy supply chain, however, 
complicates that initiative. Biden has already sent hundreds of millions 
of dollars in green energy funding to companies with deep ties to 
Beijing—in October, for example, the Democrat's Energy Department awarded 
a $200 million grant to lithium battery company Microvast Holdings, a 
lithium battery company that operates primarily from China. Energy 
Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the grant would "supercharge the private 
sector to ensure our clean energy future is American-made," prompting 
staunch criticism from Republicans.

"The Department of Energy continues to operate in a manner that undermines 
and endangers our national security," Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.) said 
in a Dec. 7 letter to Granholm. "It is clear DOE's actions directly 
undermine the United States' position in its race against China for 
technological supremacy."
