TAIPEI -- Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. and DJI, two of China's top tech companies, have been added to a U.S. export control blacklist in a move that ratchets up tension over tech between the Trump administration and Beijing.
Friday's decision by the Commerce Department to add the duo to the so-called Entity List will require U.S. exporters to apply for a license to sell to the companies, thus restricting their access to American technology.
