Pentagon adds Alibaba, Baidu, BYD to list of companies aiding Chinese military, banning US contracts.

The Pentagon has added Chinese tech giants Alibaba, Baidu, and automaker BYD to a list of companies it believes support China's military. This move prohibits the US Defense Department from contracting directly with these firms starting later this month, and from buying their products through third parties by 2027. The update highlights ongoing US concerns about Chinese technology's role in national security and complicates US-China relations despite recent trade talks. Some affected companies, like WuXi AppTec, have disputed their inclusion and plan to seek removal from the list.
