"US-China Tensions Escalate: Pentagon Accuses Alibaba and BYD of Aiding Chinese Military. In a move that is likely to further strain relations between the US and China, the Pentagon has added tech giant Alibaba and electric car maker BYD to its list of companies deemed to be aiding the Chinese military. The designation, made under the US's Foreign Military Sales Act, prohibits American companies from doing business with these entities, sparking concerns about the impact on trade and global supply chains. The move comes as the US continues to crack down on Chinese companies it suspects of having ties to the military, following a similar designation of Huawei in 2020."
