The issue of export control restrictions on US nationals or green card holders working in/with China-listed “entity” companies is not new. Rules and regulations have existed governing the duties and obligations of a US person (defined as a US citizen, permanent resident or US entity) working as an employee, board adviser or third-party contractor (including a lawyer) for any China entity placed on a restricted list maintained by: (1) US Defense Department; or (2) BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security) Entities.
