In a move that has sparked concerns over the growing influence of Chinese technology in the US, the Biden administration has added Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD to its list of companies with alleged ties to the Chinese military. The decision, which was made by the US Department of Defense, comes as part of a broader effort to identify and mitigate potential security risks posed by Chinese companies with links to the country's military. BYD, which is one of the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturers, has been under scrutiny in recent years over its alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the country's military-industrial complex. The move is likely to have significant implications for BYD's operations in the US, where the company has been expanding its presence in recent years.
