Chinese Tech Giant Alibaba Sues Pentagon Over "Military Company" Label

China's Alibaba filed a lawsuit June 23 against the U.S. Department of Defense. The Pentagon labeled Alibaba a military-support company in June, pressuring American investors to drop ties with the firm. Alibaba says it's just a regular business that follows the law. The case marks a change: instead of negotiating quietly, Chinese companies are now fighting Pentagon decisions in court.
