(Reuters) - China is ready to put U.S. companies in an "unreliable entity list," as part of countermeasures against Washington's move to block shipments of semiconductors to Huawei Technologies, the Global Times reported on Friday.

The measures include launching investigations and imposing restrictions on U.S. companies such as Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CSCO), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) Inc as well as suspending purchase of Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co airplanes, the report said https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1188491.shtml, citing a source.
