LOL! Your reading comprehension is zero.
"the U.S. Commerce Department’s so-called Entity List of foreign enterprises with which American companies are forbidden to do business."
This has nothing to do with France.
Are you for real?
TSMC is not affected by the US Entity List because its not an American company?
Samsung is not affected by the US Entity List because its not an American company?
LG is not affected by the US Entity List because its not an American company?
All the waivers they asked the USA for where never needed?
Someone gotta call them, they are loosing billions when this smart little guy figured it all out.
I already reminded you in this thread, to let you catch up a little bit with that reading comprehension of yours:

Your lot has been spamming selfglorifying propaganda for years now, gloating how these US sanctions would have killed Huawei, SMIC and other Chinese companies, after blocking and interrupting TSMC, Samsung and LG and other international companies from supplying and providing relevant services. With a good portion of the threads and commentary from none less than yourself. But suddenly
"the U.S. Commerce Department’s so-called Entity List of foreign enterprises" has nothing to do with foreign companies, at all?
Do we even need to go on, after your completly disqualifying claims here? The dumb CNN story already evaporated into hot air anways since the concrete issue was declared.
Framatome needed permission from the US government for it to talk to US companies about strategies to mitigate the situation in China.
Again, thats not from Framatome or what Framatome said, thats you parroting CNN talking out of their butt and congratulating themself after NYT laundered CNN claims and assumptions into your typical "facts".

It doesn't say anything about your dumb misinterpretation of obligations/sanctions.
Already back to your dumb routine to ramble lazy oneliners, purposefully ignoring and contradicting the facts people have already spoonfed to you, hoping they get bored of repeating themself just to drag on drowning the truth in your BS? As pointed out three times before, your own dumb propaganda conceded the "magical"
fact I have been referring to right before that line
CGN, the Chinese nuclear company, is on the U.S. Commerce Department’s so-called Entity List of foreign enterprises with which American companies are forbidden to do business.
for which they all seek waivers or diversify away from jada jada you already know all of that. Flip flopping back to the dumb CNN
claim about undisclosed claims of claims about claims of things, nobody even cared to confirm, doesnt make the prevailing US sanctions go away, even if its hidden under a 1000 word NYT essay full of BS,
It doesnt matter that they concede it (unlike CNN who completely sidelined this fact to justify its dumb interpretations). Its just the icing on the cake that you posted it yourself but apparently never read all the US propaganda garbage (as intended) you are dumping here.

May I dig deeper into that open wound or do you intend to give up on your farce? We already know the answer. These statements about the US sanction affecting EDF operations in China are plastered over every public EDF financial guide and outlook for the past 3 years.
The implementation of these projects may give rise to numerous technical, industrial, operational, economic, regulatory, environmental or acceptability risks that could jeopardize project schedules, associated costs or profitability. There may also be difficulties in terms of relationships with the partners involved with EDF in these projects. Trade tensions between the United States and China could have an impact on the conduct of some of these projects given the technologies and partnerships implemented.
In this regard, in October 2018, the US Department of Energy (“US DoE”) issued a decision on civil nuclear cooperation with China which deals in particular with the transfer of US goods and technology, or goods and technology of US origin, to CGN, its subsidiaries and related entities. This decision concerns technologies relating to equipment within or directly attached to the vessel, core power control equipment and equipment that contains or is in direct contact with the primary fluid. On 14 August 2019, the United States Department of Commerce (“US DoC”) issued a ruling placing four CGN Group entities on the list of entities subject to restrictions (“Entity List”) concerning any transfer of goods and technology, in particular US dual-use goods and technology, or dual-use goods and technology of US origin (or including a certain percentage of US content) subject to the jurisdiction of the US DoC (export administration regulations: covering all goods and technology, in particular dual-use commercial goods and technology, other than those subject to the jurisdiction of the US DoE and the Nuclear Regulatory Agency). As a result of these decisions, the transfer of goods and technology to the entities in question for the technical scope covering them under the decisions, must be specifically authorised in advance by the competent US courts, with the presumption that such authorisation will be refused.
In addition, these projects require administrative authorisations, licenses or permits which may be subject to disputes, withdrawals or delays in obtaining them.
Such situations could, in particular in the event of non-compliance with the Group’s contractual commitments or the Group’s potential exposure in the event of major contingencies arising from the completion of these projects or the operation of these reactors, have a major impact on the Group’s business, results, asset value, financial position, reputation and outlook.
But what does EDF know right? They just own the company building those plant. They must have been reading something wrong, their operations are not even affected because they are not an American company. Its not like using just one propetiary screwdriver or one propetiary library in one of their devices or software, makes them subject to seeking waivers from these sanctions, just like everyone else we have been talking about for the past years. But wait I already talked about that too:
