Alibaba has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense, seeking its removal from a blacklist of companies allegedly linked to the Chinese military. The e-commerce giant denies supporting the People's Liberation Army and argues that its inclusion on the 1260H list is factually and legally baseless, violating its constitutional rights. The designation, which includes other Chinese tech firms like Baidu, restricts the Defense Department's ability to do business with Alibaba and could deter other companies from engaging with it. AI
