The United States has expanded its scrutiny of Chinese companies accused of ties to the Chinese military, with the Pentagon adding several high-profile firms to its list of entities identified as supporting the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The Select Committee on China warned American businesses and government bodies to reassess their ties with the listed companies.
The updated list includes major Chinese technology, electric-vehicle, energy, biotechnology, and manufacturing firms such as Alibaba Group, Baidu, BYD, NIO, and WuXi AppTec, among others.

Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar said the revised list should be viewed as a serious alert for businesses, government agencies and citizens.
“This updated list of Chinese military companies is a warning to American businesses, all levels of government, and the American people. These Chinese companies are working with the Chinese military against our national interests,” Moolenaar said.
He further called for stricter action against companies operating in the US market.
“Any of them that are publicly traded on U.S. exchanges should be immediately delisted and their products should be removed from supply chains our country depends on. American companies must stop doing business with these threats to our national security, otherwise they are enabling China’s military ascendance,” he added.
The Pentagon’s latest update places several globally recognised Chinese firms under increased attention due to alleged connections with China’s military ecosystem. The companies added to the list include:
Moolenaar also highlighted concerns linked to Chinese biotechnology firms and referred to earlier bipartisan efforts aimed at protecting American data.
He mentioned the BIOSECURE Act, signed into law in December, saying it helped protect Americans’ medical information from companies including BGI and WuXi AppTec, which he said, “enable the PLA’s biological experimentation.”
