BEIJING -- A U.S. clampdown on dealings with Chinese companies has highlighted the increasingly blurred line between the military and civilian sectors in the world's No. 2 economy.
The U.S. Department of Commerce earlier this month added 44 entities, including some companies affiliated with the People's Liberation Army, to its export control list over national security concerns. Despite the focus on businesses with military ties, the move could impact a range of commercial products.
