The United States Department of Defense expanded their list of companies with alleged connections to the Chinese military today with Xiaomi and 8 other groups. A June 12, 2020 version of the list added Huawei to the same list (alongside 19 other China-based or China-associated companies). Entities on the list are effectively blacklisted from business with companies in the United States as authorized by Section 1237 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105-261). The Department of Defense says the list names “Communist Chinese military companies.”
The otherwise most-recent additions to the Section 1237 list (read: Communist Chinese military companies list) published by the Defense Department included SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp) and CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corp.)
