WASHINGTON—The Pentagon has failed to release an annual list of Chinese companies with military ties, triggering concerns that the Biden administration could be hesitating to enforce a Trump-era executive order that banned investments in these companies.
The Financial Times reported on May 13 that the Department of Defense missed the deadline to publish a legally required list of Chinese military companies, citing two people familiar with the matter. The report is crucial for President Joe Biden, who must make a decision on whether Americans can invest in such companies.
