Judge blocks US decision to add WuXi to list of companies tied to Chinese military
Judge blocks US decision to add WuXi to list of companies tied to Chinese military WASHINGTON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday barred the Defense Department from including Chinese biotechnology company WuXi AppTec Co on a list of companies believed to support Beijing's military, saying the government lacked evidence to justify the decision.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued an order to block enforcement of the designation of WuXi in June after the company filed suit.
"A scarlet letter sends a clear message: keep away," Boasberg wrote, noting that since then WuXi’s customers and suppliers have canceled contracts, terminated longstanding relationships, and moved their business to competitors.
