Chinese technology giant Alibaba has sued the US Department of Defense after being designated a "Chinese military company" by Washington. In court filings, Alibaba argued that the designation has no basis in fact or law and insisted that its operations focus on retail, logistics, cloud computing and enterprise technology, not military activities. The Pentagon added Alibaba, Baidu, BYD and NIO to its military-linked companies list in June, escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing. The lawsuit marks a major legal confrontation in the broader US-China rivalry and could further intensify disputes over trade, technology, national security and global market access.#Alibaba #China #USA #USChina #TradeWar #Pentagon #BreakingNews #USChinaRelations #ChinaNews #TechWar #Baidu #BYD #NIO #WorldNews #Geopolitics
