On June 1, U.S. AI chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA.O)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> said it plans to work with Unitree to build robots for researchers.<\/div><div>Alibaba said \u200bin a statement there was &#8220;no basis&#8221; for its inclusion on the list. &#8220;Alibaba is not a Chinese military company nor part of any military-civil fusion strategy. We will take all available legal action against attempts to misrepresent our \u200bcompany,&#8221; its statement said.<\/div><div>WuXi AppTec responded that its inclusion on the list was &#8220;incorrect&#8221;, and said in a statement that it would &#8220;take immediate actions to challenge and correct this erroneous designation.&#8221;<\/div><div>Baidu &#8220;categorically&#8221; rejected its inclusion on the list, and in a statement to Reuters said: &#8220;The suggestion that Baidu is a military company is entirely baseless. We will not hesitate to use all options available to us to have the company removed from the list.&#8221;<\/div><div>BYD, CXMT, YMTC, RoboSense, Unitree, BOE Technology Group, Tianma Microelectronics and TP-Link \u200bTechnologies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/div><div>China&#8217;s embassy in Washington said Beijing opposed &#8220;making discriminatory lists to go after Chinese companies,&#8221; and that its firms observe local laws and regulations.<\/div><div>&#8220;The U.S. should stop its \u200bwrong practice and create a fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for Chinese companies,&#8221; an embassy spokesperson said in a statement.<\/div><div>Some companies, including two entities owned by Chinese state-owned oil major China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) &#8211; CNOOC China Ltd and CNOOC \u200cInternational Trading &#8211; \u2060were removed. However, CNOOC subsidiary China BlueChemical Limited was added, and the department filing noted that CNOOC is directly controlled by China&#8217;s government.<\/div><div>Companies can at times be taken off not because the U.S. determines they aren&#8217;t linked to China&#8217;s military, but because they no longer operate in the U.S. or because an entity&#8217;s name has changed.<\/div><div>The listed firms &#8220;qualify for designation as &#8216;Chinese military companies,'&#8221; and operate in the U.S., the Pentagon said in its filing, which is required at least annually under U.S. law. The companies can petition for removal, it added.<\/div><div>House of Representatives China Select Committee Chair John Moolenaar said the updated list &#8220;is a warning to American businesses, all levels of \u200bgovernment, and the American people. These Chinese companies are \u200bworking with the Chinese military against our \u2060national interests.&#8221;<\/div><div>The Pentagon also included telecoms equipment maker Baicells, which Reuters reported was under investigation by the FBI and Commerce Department last year. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/div><h2>US MILITARY BARRED FROM BUYING FROM LISTED COMPANIES<\/h2><div>Though the listing does not formally impose sanctions on Chinese firms, under recent U.S. law the \u200bDefense Department will be prohibited starting later this month from contracting directly with companies on the list, and from buying their products or services via \u200bthird parties beginning in 2027.<\/div><div>In filings \u2060with Hong Kong&#8217;s stock exchange, electric vehicle manufacturer Nio said it would not be impacted by the procurement restrictions, while Alibaba said the listing would not affect its ability &#8220;to conduct business as usual in the U.S. or anywhere in the world.&#8221;<\/div><div>Those measures could have material costs for the Chinese firms and their partners.<\/div><div>Being added to the list also sends a potentially damaging message to Pentagon suppliers and other U.S. government agencies about the U.S. military&#8217;s opinion of \u2060the firms, \u200bsome of which have sued the U.S. over their inclusion.<\/div><div>Craig Singleton, a China expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think \u200btank in Washington, said the publication of the list served as a post Trump-Xi summit reality check on the heightened state of U.S.-China competition.<\/div><div>&#8220;Washington is no longer treating these as isolated companies. It is treating the entire technology stack as strategically contested,&#8221; Singleton said.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Michael Martina\" class=\"wp-image-16\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2fbc342fbf4923310b6176a6594014e2.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Michael Martina<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1441\">Indian economy, government finances, see mounting costs from Iran war<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1437\">Trump says pilots safe after US Army Apache goes down near Hormuz<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1436\">How Honda\u2019s old guard tried, and failed, to oust its CEO<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. on Monday added Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, \u200binternet search provider Baidu, and automakers BYD and Nio to a list of companies it believes are aiding Beijing&#8217;s military, in a move that could inflame tensions between the countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,137],"class_list":["post-1443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-asia-pacific","tag-consumer-trends"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
