US judge blocks Pentagon from labeling Alibaba as Chinese military firm
A US federal judge ruled the Pentagon must temporarily remove Alibaba from its Chinese military company list. The decision halts restrictions that could have barred US investment in the e-commerce giant. Alibaba had argued the designation was based on outdated and inaccurate information.
