The Pentagon has flagged prominent Chinese firms, including Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD, as supporting the Chinese military. The list, released June 8 for publication June 10, covers companies in AI, solar, biotech, and electronic batteries. It describes them as “military-civil fusion contributors” under China’s strategy integrating civil entities into defense. The determination follows a U.S.-China summit with no major trade deals. Made under the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual list alerts sectors to risks without immediate sanctions but bars Pentagon contracts or indirect procurement. It has expanded since early 2025 with additions like TP-Link, WuXi AppTec, RoboSense, CALB Group, and Unitree Robotics, plus solar and semiconductor firms such as JA Solar, Trina Solar, BOE Technology, and Zhongji Innolight. The June list mirrors a withdrawn February version. Listed entities can appeal with evidence. Congress has raised alarms, with Rep. John Moolenaar calling it a warning against enabling China’s military. The Epoch Times reached out to Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD for comment.
