US Targets Chinese Companies Supplying Hamas, Houthis Drones

.

The Commerce Department added 19 Chinese entities that have supplied drones or supported terrorist organizations to an entity list on Oct. 8.
.
Among them are Goodview Global, found to be part of an illicit network supplying the sanctioned Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with drone parts. The U.S. government in March offered rewards of up to $15 million for information that would disrupt the IRGC’s funding network, which supports Hamas, Hezbollah, and other proxies. The bounty notice named four Chinese nationals allegedly providing the terrorists with arms.

According to the federal register filing, Gulf and Middle East nations that have recovered drones operated by Iranian proxies, like the Houthis, have led to the identification of the 10 Chinese companies involved. These companies provided the terrorists with U.S.-origin drone parts, a violation of U.S. laws and sanctions.

They include Arrow China Electronics Trading Co. Ltd., Arrow Electronics (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd., Beijing Kevins Technology Development Co. Ltd., Beijing Plenary Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing Rageflight Technology Co. Ltd., Gansu Shuili Hoisting Equipment Co. Ltd., Jinan Xin Yin Bo Electronic Equipment Co. Ltd., Schmidt & Co. (HK) Ltd., Shangdong Xin Yin Bo IOT Technology Co. Ltd., and Shanghai Sisheng Power Control Technology Co. Ltd.

Another five Chinese companies were found to have supplied U.S.-origin components to Hamas: Easy Fly Intelligent Technology Co. Ltd, Feng Bao Trading Hong Kong Ltd, Feng Bao Electronic Information Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd, Shanghai Bitconn Electronics Co. Ltd., and Shanghai Langqing Electronic Technology Co.

“These additions are being made based on information indicating that around October 7, 2023, Israel Defense Forces recovered numerous weaponized unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs) operated by Iranian proxies, including Hamas militants,” the new filing states.

Three Chinese addresses are also being added to the list for supporting Iran’s Shiraz Electronics Industries, a military-linked company.

On the same day, the Commerce Department added one company from the United Arab Emirates and nine Turkey-based companies to the entity list for helping Iran evade sanctions by diverting U.S.-origin items, including aircraft parts, to the country.

Gaza peace talks have accelerated after President Donald Trump handed Hamas an ultimatum on Oct. 3.

A U.S. delegation, including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and former Middle East envoy, is joining ongoing talks in Egypt on Wednesday.

The 20-point Gaza peace plan, put forward last week by Trump, called for an immediate cease-fire, a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza, large-scale reconstruction, and the release of all hostages—both living and deceased—within 72 hours of Israel’s agreement.
