**The June 2026 Section 1260H update added roughly 65 entities (including Alibaba, Baidu, BYD, NIO, WuXi AppTec, and Unitree) while removing about 10 others, primarily those the Pentagon determined no longer operate directly or indirectly in the United States.** Companies on the list can petition for removal or challenge designations in court, as seen with prior successful delistings (e.g., Xiaomi, certain memory-chip makers) and ongoing cases like WuXi AppTec’s preliminary injunction efforts. Removals often hinge on proof of no U.S. operations rather than overturning military-civil fusion findings. Stricter DoD procurement bans take effect in June 2027, creating stronger incentives for legal or administrative challenges ahead of the market’s resolution date. Diplomatic pauses have briefly delayed announcements, but the annual statutory requirement and focus on dual-use technologies continue to drive the process.
