Beijing has warned of a resolute response to the Pentagon’s newly expanded blacklist of Chinese companies, accusing Washington of using national security as a pretext to curb the development of Chinese firms.
The warning came after the US Defence Department released its updated Section 1260H list on Monday as required by American law, expanding the roster to 188 entities, up from 134 last year.

The list names what the department says are “Chinese military companies” operating, directly or indirectly, in the United States and includes many of China’s technology and industrial giants.

On Saturday, China’s Ministry of Commerce said: “[Washington has] continuously overstretched the concept of national security, abused state power, and unreasonably suppressed Chinese companies.

“Such actions by the US have seriously undermined the international economic and trade order, jeopardised the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.”

US adds Alibaba, BYD, Baidu and other Chinese tech giants to military blacklist

The US decision made under the National Defence Authorisation Act came just a few weeks after US President Donald Trump visited China for talks with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
