US blacklists PUBG Mobile developer, Tencent, for alleged links to the Chinese military

Hindustan Times  

The US has blacklisted Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. for alleged links to the Chinese military, targeting the world’s biggest gaming publisher and top electric-vehicle battery maker in a surprise move weeks before Donald Trump takes office. Analysts play down CATL’s addition to US blacklist: Street wrap Tencent, China’s most valuable company, has big investments in or deep ties to developers from Fortnite studio Epic Games Inc. to Activision Blizzard Inc. During the first Trump administration, the US government sought to ban WeChat — a messaging service that’s evolved into a payment, social media and online services platform — on grounds that it jeopardized national security. In the same statement, the department removed several firms from the list, including AI firm Beijing Megvii Technology Co., China Marine Information Electronics Co., China Railway Construction Corp., China State Construction Group Co., China Telecommunications Corp. and ShenZhen Consys Science & Technology Co.
