According to the United States Department of Commerce, 721 Chinese businesses, organizations, and individuals have been added to a "entity list" that restricts their ability to purchase goods from the United States.

It's good that you point that out. Because it shows US really can't sanction China and only entities within it like it does to its own allies as opposed to straight country sanctions like Iran and North Korea.

Here's a list.

In fairness though, that list also shows the US can't sanction Russia either. So not sure how much of a flex not being able to sanction China is.
