WASHINGTON DC — This week, the Department of Defense (DoD) blacklisted dozens of Chinese companies operating in the U.S. that are a part of the People's Republic of China's military apparatus. Over the last two years, through investigations, reports, and legislation, the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party put a spotlight on over 70% of the Chinese companies on the latest iteration of the DoD blacklist.
