Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. sues the U.S. Department of Defense to be removed from a Pentagon blacklist that designates the company as linked to China’s military. Multiple outlets report the lawsuit is filed in U.S. federal court, with NDTV specifying a California filing in San Jose. Alibaba argues the designation is arbitrary and capricious and that the Pentagon does not provide substantial evidence or an adequate explanation for listing the firm. The company also contends the decision violates due-process and challenges the basis for its inclusion under the Pentagon’s “1260H” roster of companies Washington believes support China’s military-industrial complex through China’s military-civil fusion strategy. Bloomberg and other reports describe Alibaba as seeking relief through the U.S. justice system to avoid the effects of the designation, which the company says has already affected business relationships. Separately, one report notes China has imposed export controls on 10 U.S. companies, which it links to response measures tied to U.S. blacklist actions affecting defense- and rare-earth related industries. The articles do not indicate that the Pentagon has reversed the listing.
