Alibaba Group sues the U.S. Department of Defense after the Pentagon places the company on a list of businesses from China linked to the country’s military. Multiple outlets report that Alibaba filed the lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to have its name removed from the Pentagon list. The company argues that the designation is inaccurate and that it has no ties to China’s military. Reports also say Alibaba asks a federal court to strike its name from the list, with one account placing the filing in San Jose, California. The New York Times and PYMNTS add that Alibaba contends the U.S. government’s action violates legal protections, including due process rights. The dispute centers on the Pentagon’s labeling and Alibaba’s challenge to that characterization through the court system. The articles do not indicate that the Pentagon or the U.S. government has yet changed its position, and they frame the case primarily as a legal effort by Alibaba to contest the designation.
