US lawmakers to Pentagon: 'Ban' these tech cos for links to Chinese army - full letter
Nine US lawmakers have urged the Pentagon to ban 17 Chinese companies, including tech giants like Xiaomi and AI firm DeepSeek, citing alleged links to China's military. These firms are accused of supporting Beijing's 'military-civil fusion' strategy, potentially benefiting from US taxpayer funds. The move aims to curb China's military modernization and intelligence capabilities.
