As Huawei was included in the Entity List by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on May 21, 5 universities and 3 National Supercomputing Center also caught people's attention.
is different from Huawei's recently listed on the entity list. Beihang University (hereinafter referred to as "Beihang") and Northwestern Polytechnical University were listed on the list as early as 2001, when the new century began.
The 5 universities and 3 national supercomputing centers included in the "Entity List" are as follows (sorted by ban time):
Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (May 14, 2001)
Northwest Polytechnical University (May 14, 2001)
Sichuan University (September 19, 2012)
University of Electronic Science and Technology (September 19, 2012)
National Supercomputing Changsha Center ( Hunan University on campus, "on the list" on February 18, 2015)
National Supercomputing Guangzhou Center (Sunshan University East Campus, "on the list" on February 18, 2015)
National Supercomputing Tianjin Center (Tianjin Binhai New Area and National University of Defense Technology jointly built, "on the list" on February 18, 2015)
It can be seen that over time, the number of Chinese universities and institutions related to scientific research in colleges and universities is "threatening the US national security and foreign policy" with a year-on-year increase and has been included in the entity list by BIS.
So what exactly did these universities do to make the United States limit its output to its high-tech products and technologies?
1. Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics: Arms Weapon Research
According to Beihang's official website, in addition to the high-end scientific and technological development research plan, Beihang also holds scientific research projects related to national weapons and arms, including major basic research projects in national security, weapons and equipment exploration and research plan projects, pre-research projects, national defense science and technology projects, military product model development and production projects, and national defense innovation special zone project , accounting for nearly 1/3 of all 19 key projects.

7 national laboratories include research directions such as aerospace, software, VR/AR applications, and large metal materials. Among them, the research results of the National Engineering Research Center for Application of Satellite Navigation and the National Key Laboratory of Software Development Environment will be directly used for first-line product development. The development of near-Earth satellite networks will not only drive the development of China's commercial economy, but also satellite navigation technology will be conducive to national defense uses, such as precise positioning of missiles.
2. Northwestern Polytechnical University: Research on all-round technical coverage of heaven, sea, land and air
Although it is located in Xi'an, Northwestern Polytechnical University has 10 national laboratories and 5 national-level engineering centers .
" airfoil and cascade aerodynamics National Key Laboratory" was established in 1993. It mainly studies the principle of aircraft power and improves the power mechanism for aviation vehicles; in terms of
aerospace engineering, " microsatellite technology and application National Local Joint Engineering Laboratory" is used to study near-Earth small satellite networks; " Space Flight Motion Mechanics Technology Key Laboratory" studies the flight principles of rockets and other spacecraft; " Combustion, Thermal Structure and Inner Flow Field Key Laboratory" focuses on the research on the internal energy of aircraft. As a technical backup, thermally conductive materials are a topic that must be discussed. " Ultra-High Temperature Structural Composite Materials Key Laboratory" and " Solidification Technology National Key Laboratory" are specially designed for aerospace vehicles to study thermal conductivity technology and provide hardware support for engineering.
Underwater, Northwestern Polytechnical University has the " Underwater Information and Control Key Laboratory" which was established in 1993 and officially put into use in October 1997. The laboratory is affiliated to the School of Navigation and is jointly built by of Xi'an University of Technology and the 705th Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, focusing on underwater information control and processing technology.
On the land side, the "Internet of Things" ( Internet of Things Technology and Application National and Local Joint Engineering Laboratory) and the "UAV Technology" Laboratory ( Drone Special Technology Key Laboratory) provide support for ground precision positioning technology.
Finally, " Sky, Earth and Sea Integrated Big Data Application Technology National Engineering Laboratory" jointly with the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units to conduct systematic analysis of sky, space, earth and sea data to increase the utilization of big data resources.
In addition to conducting full-field research on the sky, sea, land and air, another major advantage of Northwestern Polytechnical University is that it has a corresponding engineering center for to physically manufacture the research results, which facilitates continuous precise transformation of the solutions and finished products during the research process.
3. Sichuan University: Comprehensive universities that are not involved in the military industry are inexplicably listed on the list
. The reason why Sichuan University was included in the "entity list" in the United States is " helps the University of Electronic Science and Technology to buy things ". Since BIS does not explicitly indicate the reason why Sichuan University is on the list, the national key laboratories and national engineering centers owned by Sichuan University do not directly involve the military industry field, and Sichuan University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China are on the list of at the same time, so this statement is groundless.
The five national key laboratories at Sichuan University, except for the "National Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering" that may be indirectly related to the military industry, other laboratories do not seem to pose a threat to "National Security of the United States":
National Key Laboratory of Hydromechanics and Mountain River Protection, National Key Laboratory of Biological Treatment, National Key Laboratory of Oral Medicine, and National Engineering Laboratory of Tanning Cleaning Technology.
National Engineering Center looks even more "not afraid": National Biomedical Materials Engineering Technology Research Center, National Flue Gas Desulfurization Engineering Technology Research Center.
4. University of Electronic Science and Technology: The mysterious "communication anti-jamming technology"
According to the official website of the University of Electronic Science and Technology, the University of Electronic Science and Technology currently has 8 national scientific research institutions, most of which are related to communication electromagnetic technology.

The first place is the national key laboratory of "Communication Anti-interference Technology". The mustard heap opens the link, the web page shows 404, and the server cannot be connected. Opening other lab links shows "This website cannot be accessed; the response time of 222.197.182.25 is too long". The latter website may only be available to insiders, technicians say.
laboratory information is blocked from the outside world, indicating that the research content involves major secrets. The University of Electronic Science and Technology specializes in "communication anti-jamming technology", which makes people unable to help but the US eavesdropping scandal that has been rumored by Lenovo in recent years.
Western media: The United States monitors 90% of the world's communications.
In 2017, according to multiple media research reports such as the Washington Post, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) secretly monitored multiple mobile phones around the world to discover system vulnerabilities in the mobile phone network and eavesdrop on mobile phone communications. In addition, NSA will also collect mobile phone location information, locate hundreds of millions of mobile phones in real time, and track locations. According to reports, the NSA collects nearly 5 billion location information every day, which forms a huge database for use by the United States. This is also the most shocking secret US government project exposed so far.
The "communication anti-jamming technology" studied by the University of Electronic Science and Technology provides the possibility for "anti-monitoring".
5. National University of Defense Technology: " Tianhe No. 1 " and " Tianhe No. 2 " mother
"National University of Defense Technology" full name is "National University of Defense Technology of the People's Liberation Army of China". Since its birth, it has had the genes for military construction and has provided batches of military talents to the country. But was not included in the "Entity List" by BIS until it led the construction of supercomputers of "Tianhe 1" and "Tianhe 2".
"Tianhe No. 1" is China's first supercomputer with a 10 trillion-time operation, and has been developed since 2008. The first phase system (TH-1) was completed in September 2009, and the second phase system (TH-1A) was upgraded at the National Supercomputing Tianjin Center in August 2010 and was officially completed.In the same year, "Tianhe No. 1" ranked first among the latest global supercomputers TOP500. Since its inception, Tianhe 1 has achieved outstanding achievements in fields such as aerospace, weather forecasting and marine environment imitation that require large-scale computing. China also plans to use supercomputer technology to monitor smog weather.
"Tianhe 2" supercomputer system was also developed by the National University of Defense Technology and became the world's fastest supercomputer in 2013 after completion. , in the top 500 global supercomputers released in November 2014, "Tianhe 2" ranked first, nearly twice as fast as the second-place American "Titan", which is also its fourth consecutive win for .
In view of the outstanding performance of Tianhe 1 and Tianhe 2, the United States included the National University of Defense Technology and the National Supercomputer Tianjin, Changsha and Guangzhou centers on the "Entity List" on February 18, 2015.
It is worth mentioning that on June 20, 2016, the latest TOP500 list showed that the " Shenwei TaihuLight" (Sunway TaihuLight) built by China independently developed chip replaced Tianhe No. 2 and topped the list. currently has the latest TOP500 list, which shows that "Shenwei·Taihu Light" ranks third, and "Tianhe No. 2" ranks fourth.
6. Three national supercomputing centers: the construction and operation of "Tianhe No. 1" and "Tianhe No. 2"
National supercomputing centers in Tianjin, Changsha and Guangzhou are included in the "Entity List", which are all related to the construction and operation of "Tianhe No. 1" and "Tianhe No. 2".
First of all, the second phase of "Tianhe No. 1" was completed at the National Supercomputing Tianjin Center and was later handed over to the Changsha Center for operation. Therefore, the national supercomputer Tianjin and Changsha Center were later included in the "entity list".
In August 2010, the Tianjin Center of the National Supercomputing Computing completed the upgrade of the "Tianhe No. 1" Phase II system (TH-1A). At this point, the construction of the "Tianhe No. 1" system has been completed. Subsequently, the National Supercomputing Changsha Center was officially established at Hunan University on November 28, responsible for the operation of "Tianhe No. 1".
Secondly, with the second half of 2013, the "Tianhe No. 2" system was delivered to the National Supercomputer Guangzhou Center located at the East Campus of Sun Yat-sen University for operation and use, and the Guangzhou Center was also included in the "Entity List".
Therefore, the National University of Defense Technology, the National Supercomputer Tianjin, Changsha and Guangzhou Center were all included in the "Entity List" by BIS on February 18, 2015 due to the construction and operation of "Tianhe No. 1" and "Tianhe No. 2".
Therefore, all seemingly accidental actions have inevitable factors. The reason why Chinese enterprises, universities, and research institutions are on the list is never "unknown".
