Biden Blocks 59 Chinese Companies in Amended Trump Order

The video discusses the Trump era ban on Chinese companies, which targeted those associated with the Chinese military. The Biden administration revised the ban to include companies linked to China's defense and surveillance sectors. Despite the broader definition, the list of affected companies remains similar, with a few additions. Legal challenges, such as Xiaomi's successful removal from the list, prompted the Biden administration to strengthen the legal basis of the ban.
