U.S. added five Chinese firms to military-linked list, then withdrew filing amid backlash and diplomatic concerns.
The U.S. Department of Defense added Alibaba, Baidu, BYD, WuXi AppTec, and RoboSense Technology to its 1260H list of companies allegedly linked to China’s military, but withdrew the public filing shortly after release without explanation.
The list, which bars future defense contracts but imposes no immediate sanctions, reflects ongoing U.S. efforts to restrict firms tied to China’s military-civil fusion strategy.
Alibaba denied the allegations and threatened legal action, while other firms like YMTC were removed.
The move comes ahead of a planned Trump-Xi summit and could strain diplomatic and trade relations despite a recent truce.
