House Committee Chair Pushes for Sanctions on Tech Group Over China Relations

Mike Gallagher, House China select committee chairman, urged Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to sanction the UAE-based firm “Group 42” and 13 other affiliated entities due to their extensive connections with blacklisted companies like Huawei and DarkMatter, linked to alleged Chinese human rights violations and military advancements. Gallagher’s call aims to impose trade limits, requiring U.S. companies to seek federal approval before exporting to these entities.
