President Biden is Nominating, a Justice Department Veteran from the Obama Administration, to Oversee the Enforcement of Dual-Use Export Controls, at the Commerce Department, as he seeks to Limit China’s access to Cutting-edge Technology.

Matthew Axelrod, is Biden’s Pick for Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement within the Bureau of Industry and Securit.

Axelrod spent more than a Decade at the Department of Justice (DOJ), including time as the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, Advising on Top Criminal and National-Security Issues.

Biden last month, said that he was Nominating, Alan Estevez, a Deloitte LLP Logistics Consultant, and former Defense Department Official, to lead, The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), an Agency that’s a Key Player in the Export Ccontrols arena.

Both Positions are Subject to Senate Confirmation.

The BIS is in Charge of the, so-called, Entity List. U.S. Firms are Required to obtain Government licenses if they want to Sell American Tech and Intellectual Property, to Businesses on the List.

The Trump Administration used Export Controls, Prohibitions, and Executive Orders, to Block Companies including: Huawei Technologies Co.; Chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.; ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok; and Tencent Holdings Ltd., from American Goods and Consumers.

Now, it’s up to Biden whether to Maintain, Remove, or Deepen those Measures.
