Summary
A judge has ruled that the Pentagon must not treat Chinese online retailer Alibaba as a Chinese military company about new lobbying restrictions, Bloomberg reported. The 1260H list is not the same as the US government's OFAC sanctions list that completely prevents companies like DJI from doing business in America, but it now has greater consequences than before. That new clause, said Alibaba, is preventing it from hiring representation that that could help it challenge the government, in turn violating its constitutional right to free speech. In its lawsuit, Alibaba said it didn't work with the Chinese military and should be removed from the list.
