## Resource

The Pentagon just expanded its list of Chinese companies tied to military interests, now including tech giants like Alibaba, BYD, and Baidu — all flagged for blocking U.S. defense contracts. This move reflects growing U.S. concerns that civilian tech is fueling China’s military advancement, while Beijing calls it an unfair national security overreach, demanding fairer trade rules. With 188 entities now on the list — up from 130 last year — companies like DJI and robotics firm Unitree face reputational and potential regulatory fallout, even if they can still operate in the U.S. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
