The designation could trigger new US investment restrictions.
Lol, Americans can just add any startup with an upcoming IPO to the list of Chinese Military companies. DeepSeek likely will also go there. Unbelievably easy and powerful strategy to make sure that private capital is misallocated into mediocre players.
Users reacted to the Pentagon designating Alibaba, Baidu, BYD and Unitree as Chinese military supporters, with some endorsing the move for exposing CCP control while others criticized it as hypocritical US double standards.
@CNBC All Chinese rare earth companies have aided Chinese military, so China should just voluntarily ban rare earth exports to the U.S. companies related to the military industrial complex. Cool
@teortaxesTex ZAI is already on the entity list, seem to be doing well. 10xed the stock. Hongkong family offices already have deep pockets. They rival any large VC - they just chose to stay low profile.
@CNBC 40% of Tesla EVs are produced in China, and last year they even established a battery factory there. Elon Musk works for China. He loves China. Why doesn't he move the factory to the US? His next destination is China.
@teortaxesTex China should add soybean & dairy farms to lists of organizations aiding US military because these farms feed US soldiers, in addition to adding Tesla, GE, Apple and Boeing etc.
@teortaxesTex Almost a badge of honor at this point
@teortaxesTex Soon the question would be which ones are NOT on the list and why, perhaps the Chinese government should look into whther those are actually colluding with the Americans… 😉
@chenweihua @CNBC Make American politicians kiss the Great Wall of China before you sell them any of your good stuff that they need.
@CNBC Moves like this show how economic policy and national security concerns are increasingly intertwined in U.S.–China relations.
@CNBC The U.S. punishes companies like Anthropic if they do not comply with all govt demands, while simultaneously insisting that Chinese companies must not assist Beijing at all. That double standard is hard to reconcile. Who is the one acting like the dictator of the world?!
@CNBC How would the USA react if China banned all companies that do business with the US government?!
@CNBC Is the U.S. applying this standard to anyone else, or is China just the convenient one to push around? What did China do to deserve this?
@CNBC Cnbc financial news.....some woke losers butt hurt about losing election booed Trump. This is how bitchy the leftist regressive media is.
@TechCrunch Big escalation in US-China tech decoupling. No immediate sanctions but DoD contracting bans kick in soon.
Expect more supply chain pressure on EVs, AI & cloud. Markets already reacting?
@CNBC the irony of targeting competitors while ignoring domestic issues is rich
Pentagon: Military Asset. Alibaba: Denial. Reality: CCP Control.
Alibaba denies aiding the CCP military? The problem: under China’s laws, it has no freedom to refuse. Jack Ma’s disappearance said it all. The Pentagon labeled Alibaba a military company for a reason.

@TechCrunch The Pentagon’s designation of Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD as Chinese military companies highlights the growing scrutiny on dual-use technology. It will be interesting to see how this impacts U.S.-China supply chain relations moving forward.
@TechCrunch Awsome
@chenweihua @CNBC I support this actually.
@TechCrunch The list is interesting because it spans electric vehicles, AI, cloud computing, and robotics.
Basically a preview of the industries likely to define the next decade. 🚀
@TechCrunch Nice
