US Pentagon Adds Alibaba and BYD to Military-Linked Companies List

The Pentagon concludes that Alibaba and BYD should be added to the 1260H 'Chinese Military Companies' list for alleged ties to the Chinese military, signaling heightened tensions ahead of a Trump-Xi summit; Baidu is also slated for inclusion, while WuXi AppTec, RoboSense and BOE are added and CXMT and YMTC removed. The Federal Register posting was briefly pulled; inclusion generally carries reputational risk and potential future actions rather than immediate legal penalties.

BYD’s January sales slip extends fifth straight monthly drop amid stiff competition

BYD’s January vehicle sales fell 30.1% year-on-year to 210,051 vehicles, the fifth consecutive monthly decline, with export NEV volume at 100,482 and production down 29.1%. Domestic demand weakened as plug-in hybrid sales dropped 28.5% despite upgraded hybrids, while the company targets about 1.3 million overseas shipments in 2026 and plans new plants in Hungary, Brazil and Thailand plus potential sites in Indonesia and Turkey. A strong overseas performance helped BYD briefly outsell Tesla last year, but competition at home from Geely and Leapmotor remains fierce, and the 2026 global sales target has not been announced.
