Pentagon Adds BYD to Chinese Military Blacklist Amid Trade Tensions
The U.S. Department of Defense has added Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD to its list of companies allegedly supporting the Chinese military. This expanded blacklist, known as 1260H, now includes 188 companies, complicating business relationships between U.S. firms and these organizations. The list was established under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021 to impose restrictions on Chinese technology companies. BYD joins other Chinese firms like Nio, CALB Group, and EVE Energy on the list. The move is part of ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, with technology and automotive sectors at the center of the dispute.
