Tencent publicly rejects its inclusion on the U.S. Department of Defense's list of companies allegedly linked to China’s military, calling the designation a mistake. The social media and gaming giant emphasizes that it has no connections to China’s military or defense-related industries.
The company states that the designation, which is unrelated to U.S. sanctions or export controls, pertains solely to defense procurement and will not affect its business operations. Tencent announces plans to initiate a formal review process to correct the record and address the issue.
