The US Department of Defense annually identifies companies it determines to be Chinese military companies operating directly or indirectly in the United States, including entities affiliated with the People's Liberation Army or China's defense industrial base and contributors to Chinese military-civil fusion. Listing imposes no asset freeze, but since June 2026 the Department is prohibited from contracting directly with listed entities and entities under their control, and from June 2027 the prohibition extends to procuring goods and services produced or developed by them.
