These companies dont always stay on the Department of Defenses list, as the US removed Chinese phone maker Xiaomi just months after adding it in 2021. Both Tencent and CATL plan to push back on the designations. We are not a military company or supplier, Tencent spokesperson Danny Marti said in a statement to The Verge. Unlike sanctions or export controls, this listing has no impact on our business. We will nonetheless work with the Department of Defense to address any misunderstanding. CATL similarly told Bloomberg that its inclusion was clearly a mistake.
