US Expands China Military-Linked Blacklist to Alibaba, BYD and Baidu

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.

Beijing’s double visit reveals a stronger China–Russia axis than a transactional China–U.S. tie

Xi’s Beijing visit with Putin showcased a deep, highly formal China–Russia alignment: a senior, energy-focused delegation, a long joint statement with numerous signed documents, and private and cultural events, signaling strategic convergence. By contrast, Trump’s visit produced few major deals, a smaller cabinet-level U.S. delegation plus a broad business contingent, and a televised banquet, underscoring a more transactional dynamic and higher political stakes for Trump given his rarer trips to Beijing. The two visits differed in host reception, agendas, and post-meeting symbolism (Putin–Xi photo exhibition and private tea vs. a Temple of Heaven visit and a televised state banquet), reflecting Beijing’s enduring Moscow partnership vs. a less consistent China–U.S. relationship during Trump’s term.

Trump claims China will buy U.S. oil as Beijing talks push for wins

At a Beijing summit, Trump said China has agreed to buy American oil and will send Chinese ships to U.S. ports as part of efforts to secure concrete trade wins, while China would help with Iran talks and oppose military aid to Tehran; Xi is said to want the Strait of Hormuz open and toll-free. U.S. crude exports to China have fallen about 95% since 2023, and China remains Iran’s major oil buyer. Beijing and Washington reportedly reached a series of consensuses to pursue constructive stability for the next three years, with a closing meeting planned.

Beijing's Confidence Could Fray the Fragile U.S.-China Truce

Thomas J. Christensen argues that China’s perceived success in pressuring the U.S. last year has boosted Beijing’s confidence, but while China is powerful it is not a true peer to the United States. With the upcoming Trump-Xi summit, the Busan truce remains fragile as key issues—transshipment tariffs, rare-earths, fentanyl controls, and high-end semiconductors—were left unresolved. A more confident China could retaliate against U.S. pressure or push its leverage on Taiwan and in Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, risking renewed tensions. The United States still enjoys advantages through its alliances, technology access, and the dollar, but misperceptions on both sides could derail the gains of 2025 and spur new escalation.
