Tencent and Ningde Times responded to being included in the list of the US Department of Defense: obviously a mistake, and will work with relevant US departments to resolve the misunderstanding

On January 7th, in response to the US Department of Defense's listing of Tencent on the 1260H list, Tencent said in a statement, "It is obviously a mistake for Tencent to be included in this list. We are not a military enterprise or a military supplier. Unlike export control or other, this list has no impact on our business. Despite this, we will work with the relevant US departments to resolve misunderstandings." According to public reports, CATL, which was also included in the 1260H list, also responded "This is a mistake. The company is not involved in any military-related activities."
