Summary
The complaint was filed in the San Jose, California, federal court after the Pentagon expanded its blacklist of alleged “Chinese military companies” on Jun 8 to 188 entities, reflecting concern that China’s military could tap that country’s private sector for advancements. Alibaba was accused of being a "military-civil fusion contributor to the Chinese defense industrial base" through an affiliation with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. "The determinations have no basis in fact or law," Alibaba said.
Furthermore, Starting in 2027, the Pentagon will also be prohibited from “contracting for goods and services” from such groups, even if they arrive through a third party. Companies included on the list cannot provide “goods, services or technology” to the Department of Defense, as of June 30. While the blacklist does not freeze finances immediately, it triggers a brutal operational penalty on 30 June.
In addition, Alibaba, the Chinese technology and e-commerce giant, sued the US government on Tuesday over being placed on a list of businesses from China that the Department of Defense linked to that country's military. Baidu, BYD added to list Under recent U.S. law, the Pentagon cannot contract with companies on the blacklist starting this month, and cannot buy their products or services via third parties beginning in 2027.
