BEIJING (AP) \u2014 China<\/a> said Saturday it firmly opposed the U.S. adding several prominent Chinese businesses to its list of military companies, and that the move ignored the consensus reached during U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping last month.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon on Monday added several non-state-owned Chinese companies<\/a>, including electric vehicle maker BYD, tech giants Alibaba and Baidu to its list that seeks to identify Chinese companies it deems to have ties to the Chinese military, preventing them from landing U.S. defense contracts.<\/p>\n

By adding these firms to the list, \u201cthe U.S. side has ignored the consensus reached during the meeting between the heads of state of the two countries in Beijing,\u201d a Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson said Saturday in a statement.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has \u201cdisregarded the overall interests of bilateral economic and trade relations, continuously generalized the concept of national security, and abused state power to unjustifiably suppress Chinese enterprises,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

BYD, Alibaba and Baidu said earlier there\u2019s no basis to include them in the list.<\/p>\n

Trump in mid-May visited Beijing in a much-anticipated summit<\/a> with Xi. The two leaders agreed to boost economic ties between the countries, including China\u2019s purchase of more U.S. agricultural products and Boeing jets<\/a>, and the setting up separate boards of trade and investment<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BEIJING (AP) \u2014 China said Saturday it firmly opposed the U.S. adding several prominent Chinese businesses to its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[22913,1927,550,95296,28,144,3327,95297,12,793,851,1576,26003,10066,12955,800,965,6132],"class_list":["post-702881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-alibaba-group-holding-ltd","tag-ap-top-news","tag-beijing","tag-bigcommerce-holdings","tag-business","tag-china","tag-china-government","tag-commerce-com","tag-donald-trump","tag-general-news","tag-inc","tag-military-and-defense","tag-the-boeing-co","tag-u-s-department-of-commerce","tag-u-s-department-of-defense","tag-washington-news","tag-world-news","tag-xi-jinping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=702881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
