CHINA said on Saturday that it firmly opposed the United States adding several prominent Chinese businesses to its list of military companies.

The Chinese said that the move ignored the consensus reached during US President Donald Trump’s summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping last month.

Last week, the Pentagon added several non-state-owned Chinese companies, including electric vehicle maker BYD, tech giants Alibaba and Baidu to its list that seeks to identify Chinese companies it deems to have ties to the Chinese military, preventing them from landing US defence contracts.
