TL;DR Summary

The Pentagon expanded its annual list of Chinese military companies to include Alibaba, BYD and Baidu, widening a blacklist that could bar them from US defense contracts amid heightened US-China tensions. China condemned the move; Alibaba said there is no military basis and vowed legal action, while BYD and Baidu did not immediately comment. The list now includes 188 firms, reflecting ongoing scrutiny of China’s military–civil fusion and its impact on commerce and diplomacy.
