China opposes US move to list top firms as military companies
China said the move ignored a recent summit consensus and warned it could retaliate if U.S. treatment of its firms does not improve.
- On Monday, the United States Defense Department updated its list of firms allegedly aiding China's military, adding technology giants Alibaba, Baidu, BYD, and NIO to the roster.
- The Chinese Ministry of Commerce expressed strong dissatisfaction on Saturday, stating the move "ignored the consensus" reached during President Donald Trump and Jinping's summit in Beijing last month.
- BYD, Alibaba, and Baidu stated there is "no basis" for their inclusion, while Defense Department rules prohibit direct contracting with listed firms starting in 2027.
- Beijing warned it will "inevitably retaliate resolutely and forcefully" if Chinese firms are not treated fairly, urging Washington to return to a "constructive strategic and stable China-US relationship."
- Reflecting Washington's security concerns, the Pentagon continues identifying firms key to advancing China's military and industrial prowess amid intense geopolitical competition between the countries.
