Chinese companies that have been blacklisted by the United States as military entities are rebranding and creating U.S.-domiciled businesses to avoid regulatory scrutiny and maintain their operations in America. These firms are shifting production, rebranding as American, or setting up subsidiaries with new names. While these strategies are legal, they frustrate regulators who find it challenging to enforce laws when the true ownership of a company is obscured. This move is seen as part of a broader strategy to maintain China's influence, with Xi Jinping's administration playing a significant role.
