The U.S. government initiated actions including export controls and blacklists against companies involved in the Chinese military-industrial complex. On June 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of War added 65 entities, including Alibaba Group, to its Chinese Military Companies list, also known as the Section 1260H List. This action followed a series of tit-for-tat actions amid the broader U.S.-China tech trade conflict.
