Nearly 700 Chinese parties are subject to the government's export controls on what is known as the "Entity List," Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement Matthew Axelrod said in written testimony.
The goal is to counter China's "military modernization, human rights abuses, and other activities contrary to our national security and foreign policy interests," he said.
The hearing is titled "Countering China: Advancing U.S. National Security, Economic Security, and Foreign Policy".
The administration's plans to restrict certain U.S. outbound investments in specific sensitive technologies are still under discussion, said testimony from Treasury Department official Paul Rosen.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in March the Biden administration was considering a pilot program to address risks about investment in China.
