According to CNBC, US Senator Tom Cotton has sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, urging the addition of CXMT to the Bureau of Industry and Security's Entity List to restrict its access to US technology and business dealings with American companies. The report noted that Cotton accused CXMT in the letter of posing a risk to US economic and military dominance. These represent the policy demands and allegations of the lawmaker, and the report did not state that the Department of Commerce has made a decision to add the company to the list.
