# Pentagon says Alibaba, Baidu, BYD and Unitree support China’s military

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

The Pentagon has officially added Alibaba, Baidu, EV-maker BYD, and robotics company Unitree to its 1260H list of entities deemed to support China's military. The updated list now includes 188 companies and also adds Nio, battery makers CALB Group and EVE Energy, and lidar sensor company Robosense. The listing increases the likelihood of U.S. restrictions on business dealings with these entities and is expected to further strain U.S.-China relations. The update had briefly appeared in February before being pulled from the Federal Register without explanation.
