The reason they marked Tencent as a military company is so broad that it's silly. The DoD believes that companies like Tencent contribute to China's military by advancing technology through commercial and academic research which can then be used for military purposes. This includes areas like AI and quantum computing, where civilian advancements can directly benefit military technology development.

With the logic applied to Chinese companies, many US companies could also be considered military companies due to their involvement in military contracts or technology development. One could argue that Apple could be considered a military company using the same logic.

you can bet your ass that you can use games for military purposes. Pokemon GO used crowdsource to generate precise data for navigation and mapping every nook and cranny of the urban world. The dataset is very valuable and can be used for military purposes.

maybe those pesky toilet brush companies are flagged too? because, you know, military personnel need to clean their bowls. can't have that

Exactly. Marking Tencent as military is a political and financial maneuver to control China.

Xenophobic... do you even know what the word you used means?
LOL. There are no aliens here, Steam Account User. Please refrain from saying such ridiculous things again. The mods might not be happy if you do.

Chat GPT Summary of the Article:

The US has added Chinese firms Tencent and CATL to a list of companies allegedly linked to China's military, a move seen as a warning to American businesses. While this inclusion doesn't immediately result in sanctions, it pressures the US Treasury to take action. Both companies deny any military ties, and Beijing condemns the move. The Pentagon updates this list annually, aiming to curb China's military power through its tech firms. The decision adds strain to US-China relations, with both firms seeing stock declines.

Actual doc but cant tell if OP is a xeno troll, much wowiwe.

Seen a lot of people on steam who side with US no matter what they do while on the contrary everything from china is bad. If this ain't xeno, what is? Bet you lot would be so swift to use similar words like 'bigot' when it's another topic.

Well, that is your opinion, and it's fine.
I however do not live in the U.S. 6 months of the time so I only half care about whats going on. Because I now have 4 business to deal with. Two in the U.S. one in Nippon and one in Korea. Additionally, before you post. Please be diligent. People around the world read these posts, So, while American may not be ones native language, please be sure to make it so.

Well you won't see that from me.
Additionally, like you I am a doc as well.

What truly matters is that people -in this topic- apparently know nothing of the word.
Xenophobia: "dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries."
Which is strange... because back in the 80's it was allocated toward alien, like off-world Alien fear, but it seems the wording has been changed over the last 1 or 2 centuries.

Why? Could it be because of a slowing of the idea of we are not alone, or could it be because people just gave up on the idea or dropped their care for such a thing. Regardless of the initial, and resulting cause, it remains.
