CNA Explains: The Pentagon's list of 'Chinese military companies'
The US has placed major firms from China on a blacklist, accusing them of aiding the Chinese military. The Pentagon has named tech giants Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, with automakers BYD and NIO also on the list. The list does not impose any sanctions, or prevent the firms from doing business in America. Instead, it serves to increase scrutiny and could potentially impact future investment or contracting opportunities with the US government. The updated list comes less than a month after a meeting between the US and Chinese presidents. Otelli Edwards and Tan Yew Guan report.
