The Chinese tech giant Alibaba will pay $600 million to resolve a dispute with the U.S. government over allegations that the Hangzhou-based firm sold and imported illegal pharmaceuticals, controlled substances, regulated chemicals, and pill-making equipment into the U.S. Alibaba operates some of the world's largest e-commerce platforms, including Alibaba.com and AliExpress.com. The U.S. alleges that Alibaba’s U.S.-based payment processor, AUS Merchant Services, violated federal law by failing to prevent merchants from selling and importing illegal products into the U.S. through Alibaba.com and AliExpress.com.
The Chinese giant isn't completely insulated from those higher tariffs and tighter restrictions.
Chinese tech giant Alibaba has filed a federal lawsuit against the Defense Department for designating it a military-linked firm.
Chinese tech and e-commerce giant Alibaba sued the U.S. Department of Defense for designations including saying it was a "Chinese military company," according to a court filing on Tuesday. "The determinations have no basis in fact or law," Alibaba said in its lawsuit. "Alibaba is governed by an independent board, none of whom has any military affiliation."
Investing.com -- The Pentagon added Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., BYD Co. and Baidu Inc. to its list of companies that support the Chinese military on Monday. The announcement was posted to the Federal Register and updates the Defense Department’s roster of companies believed to aid the People’s Liberation Army.
The U.S. on Monday issued an updated list of Chinese companies it believes are aiding Beijing's military, including e-commerce group Alibaba, Internet search provider Baidu and automaker BYD. The long-awaited update supersedes a list from early 2025, and comes less than a month after President Donald Trump met China's Xi Jinping on a visit to Beijing, where the two leaders maintained a delicate trade war truce. In February, when Trump's trip to China had been pending, the Pentagon briefly posted an updated list, known as the 1260H or CMC list, but then quickly withdrew it with little explanation.
President Trump’s posture toward China has whipsawed markets for over a year, with prediction markets confirming tariffs escalated from 10% to 40% to 100% between February and June of last year.
