With the latest revision, it includes 134 companies. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2024 bans the Defense Department from dealing with the designated companies beginning in June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tencent\u2019s Hong Kong-traded shares fell 7.3% on Tuesday and the company said it would \u201cinitiate a reconsideration process to correct this mistake,\u201d seek talks with the  Defense Department and, if need be, take legal measures to get it removed from the list. Tencent is the world\u2019s largest video gaming company and operates Chinese messaging platform WeChat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the company is neither a Chinese military company nor a military-civil fusion contributor to the Chinese defense industrial base, it believes that its inclusion in the CMC List is a mistake,\u201d Tencent said in an announcement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnlike other lists maintained by the U.S. Government for sanctions or export control measures, inclusion in the CMC List relates only to U.S. defense procurement, which does not affect the business of the Group,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battery maker CATL said in a statement posted on its website that the company \u201chas never engaged in any military-related business or activities,\u201d and said that the designation wouldn\u2019t have adverse impact on its operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Tencent, CATL maintains that its inclusion on the list was a \u201cmistake\u201d and that it would proactively engage with the Pentagon to \u201caddress the false designation\u201d and take legal action if necessary to protect company and stakeholder interest. CATL\u2019s stock fell 2.84% in Shenzhen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI company SenseTime said in a statement that the decision to include it on the list had \u201cno factual basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe firmly disagree with it,\u201d SenseTime\u2019s statement said, adding that the decision has \u201cno material impact on our global operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSenseTime remains firmly committed to working collaboratively with the relevant stakeholders to address this matter, and to safeguarding the interests of the company and our shareholders,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a daily news briefing, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Guo Jiakun urged the U.S. to \u201cimmediately correct its wrong practices, and lift the illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction on Chinese companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina consistently and firmly opposes the U.S. overstretching the concept of national security, creating discriminatory lists under various pretexts, and unwarrantedly suppressing Chinese companies, hindering China\u2019s high-quality development,\u201d Guo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Battery maker CATL and tech firm
