Alibaba sues Pentagon over 'Chinese military company' label
Key takeaways
- Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba sued the Pentagon on Tuesday over the Defense Department s recent move to place the technology firm on a list of businesses with alleged ties to the Chinese military.
- In early June, the Pentagon added Alibaba to a list of non-state-owned Chinese companies for having purported links to the Beijing military, barring the company from getting U.S. defense contracts
- The determinations have no basis in fact or law, Alibaba said in the complaint, according to Reuters.
Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
