WASHINGTON - The Biden administration on Thursday added 14 Chinese entities to a red flag list, forcing U.S. exports to conduct greater due diligence before shipping goods to them because U.S. officials have been unable to inspect the listed entities.

The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
