China stated this Saturday, June 13, 2026, that it is “strongly dissatisfied” with the United States’ decision to include Chinese companies in the Chinese military list maintained by the Department of Defense. The measure affects companies like BYD, Alibaba, and Baidu and increases pressure on strategic sectors.

Chinese military list increases tension between Beijing and Washington

The decision was made by the United States Department of Defense on June 8. The list is known as Chinese Military Companies and includes companies that Washington classifies as linked to the Chinese military sector.

According to the US government, these companies would have ties to China’s defense industrial base or the country’s civil-military fusion strategy.

Measure affects contracts and may impact the image of companies

The inclusion in the list does not, by itself, represent the application of broad economic sanctions. Even so, the measure has practical effects for the affected companies.

In practice, it restricts contracts with the US Department of Defense. According to Reuters, it will also limit, starting in 2027, purchases of products and services from these companies through third parties.

The designation can also affect the reputation of the companies and their relationship with business partners and investors, even without constituting a broad economic sanction.

BYD, Alibaba, and Baidu are among the affected names

The Chinese reaction occurs because the list increases the US pressure on major Chinese companies in technology, electric vehicles, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology.

Among the affected companies are automaker BYD, e-commerce group Alibaba, and technology company Baidu.

Also appearing on the list are NIO, BOE Technology, Unitree Robotics, WuXi AppTec, ChangXin Memory Technologies, and Yangtze Memory Technologies.

China calls for revocation and speaks of a “resolute” response

Beijing accuses Washington of using the national security argument to limit the international operations of Chinese companies.

In the note, the Ministry of Commerce asked the US to revoke the measure and give “fair, equitable, and non-discriminatory treatment” to Chinese companies.

The agency also stated that if Washington maintains the decision, China will adopt retaliations “in a resolute and vigorous manner.”
