Citing two people familiar with the matter, the newspaper said the move was in response to China’s recent restriction on exports of critical minerals to the U.S. The paper said the department had suspended some licenses that allowed U.S. firms to sell products and technology to COMAC to develop its C919 aircraft.
The C919 is made in China but many of its components come from overseas, including its LEAP engine which is made by GE Aerospace and French engine maker Safran. GE Aerospace did not offer an immediate comment.

GE was licensed for the LEAP engines in 2014.
