| News - South China Morning Post | US EXPORT CONTROLS ACHIEVING NO STRATEGIC GAIN BUT HURTING AMERICAN FIRMS, SURVEY FINDS | 4 hrs ago |
A flash survey by the US-China Business Council (USCBC) revealed that the Trump administration’s export‑control licensing regime is delivering little strategic benefit while costing the United States billions of dollars in lost exports. The survey, conducted in July, found that months‑long licensing delays are eroding American firms’ global market share.
USCBC’s findings highlight that the licensing delays are driving significant financial losses for U.S. exporters, although the exact dollar amount was not disclosed in the brief. The report emphasizes that the regime achieves virtually no strategic gain for U.S. national security objectives while harming the competitiveness of American companies abroad.
Export controls have been a hallmark of the Trump administration’s effort to restrict technology transfers to China and other competitors, but the survey suggests that the economic costs may outweigh the intended security benefits.
