⚖️ Alibaba is suing the U.S

⚖️ Alibaba is suing the U.S. government after being labeled a “Chinese military company” by the Pentagon. The lawsuit challenges the U.S. Defense Department’s decision to add Alibaba to a list of 188 Chinese companies that it believes have ties to China’s military or defense-industrial base. Alibaba says the designation is unfounded and argues that: • It is governed by an independent board and has no military affiliations. • Its businesses are centered on e-commerce, logistics, cloud computing, and enterprise technology not defense. • The Pentagon failed to provide sufficient evidence or a fair opportunity to challenge the designation. • The listing is already damaging Alibaba’s reputation and its relationships with U.S. customers and business partners. The company is asking a federal court to remove it from the Pentagon’s list. @aipost 🏴
