US adds Chinese solar and battery firms to military‑linked companies list

The United States has updated its list of companies with alleged military ties. The revision adds several Chinese firms that produce solar panels. Battery manufacturers from China are also included in the expanded list. The move follows ongoing concerns about dual‑use technology. Companies on the list may face heightened export controls. The decision reflects broader U.S. security and trade policy. Chinese firms could see impacts on their global supply chains. Officials say the list will be reviewed as new evidence emerges.
