  "account": "On November 9, the Pentagon removed Chinese biotechnology company WuXi AppTec from its list of Chinese military companies, according to a government posting. The decision was made by the deputy secretary of defense following a federal court injunction in Washington, halting the department's enforcement of the designation. This ruling came after WuXi AppTec filed a lawsuit against the Pentagon, arguing that its inclusion on the list was arbitrary, capricious, unsupported by facts and a result of political pressure. The Pentagon expanded its blacklist of alleged Chinese military companies to 188 entities on June 8.",
