US-China Relations in Jeopardy: Pentagon Accuses Tech and Auto Giants of Aiding Military In a move that could further escalate tensions between the US and China, the Pentagon has officially designated two major Chinese companies - tech giant Alibaba and electric car maker BYD - as entities that aid the Chinese military. The designation, made under the US's Foreign Military Sales Act, would restrict the companies from doing business with US government agencies and potentially limit their access to US technology and funding. The move is seen as a significant escalation of the US's efforts to counter China's growing military influence, and could have far-reaching implications for the global tech and automotive industries.
