“You don’t have to save the cards for later,” Guo said. 6.1 Translation ● China has also placed 11 U.S. companies on its “Unreliable Entity List,” banning them from conducting trade and investment activities in China. These include drone manufacturers Skydio and Insitu, the latter owned by Boeing. Beijing has launched an antidumping investigation into X-ray tubes used in medical CT scanners imported from the United States and India, and has suspended imports of sorghum, bone meal, and poultry products from select U.S. companies. China has also initiated an antimonopoly probe into DuPont’s operations in China. According to DuPont’s latest annual report, the manufacturer derived 19% of its revenue last year from China and Hong Kong, and maintains facilities in Shanghai and several other Chinese cities. DuPont’s stock price fell 13% on Friday. Guo Shan, partner at Shanghai-based consulting firm Hutong Research, stated that Beijing’s targeted measures against U.S. businesses indicate that China still welcomes foreign investment. However, she added that Beijing’s broad retaliatory tariffs signal that, given the high level of U.S. tariffs, China is no longer worried about provoking greater levies from the U.S. “You don’t have to save the cards for later.” Guo Shan said. 6.2 Key Explanations ● 1. unreliable-entity list: “Unreliable Entity List”—“unreliable” [ˌʌnrɪˈlaɪəbl] is an adjective meaning “unreliable; untrustworthy”; “entity” [ˈentəti] is a noun meaning “entity; existence; organization; institution.” This phrase is a specific term referring to a list of entities deemed unreliable. 2. bans [bæns]: third-person singular form of the verb “ban,” meaning “to prohibit; to banish.” A common collocation is “ban sb. from doing sth.” (“prohibit someone from doing something”). “Which bans them from engaging in trade and investment in the country” means “prohibiting them from conducting trade and investment activities in China.” 3. engaging in: “engaging in” means “to participate in; to be involved in.” “Engaging” is the present participle of the verb “engage.” The common collocation “engage in sth.” includes, for example, “engage in trade” (“engage in trade activities”). 4. antidumping [ˌæntiˈdʌmpɪŋ]: adjective meaning “antidumping.” “Antidumping investigation” means “antidumping investigation,” modifying “investigation” to denote the nature of the investigation—i.e., targeting dumping practices. 5. suspended [səˈspendɪd]: past tense and past participle of the verb “suspend,” meaning “to suspend; to halt; to hang.” Here it means “to suspend.” “Suspended imports of…” means “suspended imports of…”.

Large-scale textile manufacturing is the core of any modern nation—no one can escape the fundamentals of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Without large-scale textile manufacturing, there is, in fact, no economic foundation. Though apparel manufacturing is often perceived as a low-margin industry, high-value-added brands and related industries all stem from the fiber sector. We hope that, in the future, large-scale textile manufacturing will break free from the conventional global industrial relocation paradigm—integrating high-, mid-, and low-end segments—to establish a comprehensive, fully developed textile industry. According to DuPont China’s official website, its key products include fabrics, fibers and nonwovens, packaging materials and solutions, solar energy solutions, personal protective equipment, aqueous solutions, and building solutions—serving sectors such as automotive, construction, energy, government and public services, defense, law enforcement, packaging, and printing. According to comprehensive reports from Hong Kong media, U.S.-based DuPont established “DuPont China Group Co., Ltd.” in Shenzhen in 1988, becoming the first wholly foreign-owned investment company registered on the Chinese mainland. Subsequently, DuPont set up 39 wholly owned and joint-venture enterprises across mainland China, employing approximately 6,000 people, with total investments exceeding USD 800 million. Moreover, mainland China is also a vital source of revenue for DuPont. Per DuPont’s 2024 financial report, mainland China is the company’s second-largest revenue source outside the United States. Between 2022 and 2024, DuPont’s China operations contributed revenues of USD 2.744 billion, USD 2.206 billion, and USD 2.345 billion, accounting for 21%, 18%, and 19% of the group’s total revenue during those respective years.
