美国联邦法官周一（10月27日）批准了阿里巴巴集团控股有限公司的请求，发布初步禁令，命令美国政府不得因公司、其母公司或子公司与为电商巨头阿里巴巴从事游说活动的公司有业务往来，而拒绝向这些公司授予五角大楼合同。
A US federal judge on Monday (Oct 27) granted Alibaba Group Holding's request for a preliminary injunction, ordering the US government not to deny Pentagon contracts to companies because they, their parent companies or subsidiaries do business with firms that engage in lobbying activities for the e-commerce giant.
阿里巴巴于6月起诉美国政府，此前五角大楼将其列入一份据称协助中国军队的公司名单，名单上还包括互联网搜索服务商百度、电动汽车制造商比亚迪以及其他中国主要制造和科技企业。
Alibaba sued the US government in June after the Pentagon added it to a list of companies allegedly aiding China's military alongside internet search provider Baidu, EV maker BYD and other major Chinese manufacturing and technology firms.
周一的裁决意味着阿里巴巴将能够聘用同时也代表五角大楼承包商的美国游说人员，消除了该公司质疑其被指定为“中国军工企业”这一认定过程中的一个潜在障碍。
Monday's ruling means Alibaba will be able to retain US lobbyists who also represent Pentagon contractors, removing a potential obstacle to the company's efforts to challenge its designation as a Chinese military company.
据一位直接知情但未获授权向媒体发言的消息人士透露，五角大楼6月采取行动后，阿里巴巴解雇了数十名其在华盛顿的游说人员。
Alibaba fired dozens of its Washington lobbyists after the Pentagon action in June, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter who was not authorised to speak to the media.
该认定并不施加正式制裁，但限制五角大楼与上榜公司签订合同，并从2027年起禁止通过第三方采购这些公司的产品或服务。
The designation does not impose formal sanctions, but restricts Pentagon contracts with listed companies and, from 2027, purchases of their products or services through third parties.
上述消息人士补充称，其他上榜的中国科技企业也担心该认定对国际游说活动的影响，以及间接采购禁令的影响，后者将把中国产品彻底剔除出美国国防承包商的供应链。
Other listed Chinese tech firms were also concerned about the designation's impact on international lobbying activities as well as the indirect procurement ban, which would completely remove Chinese products from US defence contractors' supply chains, the source added.
阿里巴巴否认与军方有任何关联，称其产品和服务面向零售、物流和企业技术领域，而非国防或情报领域。
Alibaba has denied any military ties, saying its products and services are built for retail, logistics, and enterprise technology rather than defence or intelligence.
阿里巴巴在6月的诉讼中表示：“这些认定在事实上和法律上均无依据”，并寻求将其从名单中移除。
"The determinations have no basis in fact or law," Alibaba said in its lawsuit in June, seeking its removal from the list.
周一的禁令并未将阿里巴巴从五角大楼名单中移除，该公司正继续在法庭上对该名单提出挑战。阿里巴巴未立即回应关于该禁令的置评请求。
Monday's injunction does not remove Alibaba from the Pentagon list, which the company is continuing to challenge in court. Alibaba did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the injunction.
企业采取法律行动 阿里巴巴是几家对其被列入五角大楼名单提出法律挑战的中国企业之一。
COMPANIES TAKE LEGAL ACTION Alibaba is one of several Chinese firms taking legal action to challenge their placement on the Pentagon's list.
上个月，全球最大电动汽车制造商比亚迪的两家子公司起诉美国国防部，针对一项禁止五角大楼承包商聘请同时为被列入黑名单企业工作的游说人员的联邦法律提出挑战，辩称该法律侵犯了比亚迪的第一修正案权利。
Last month, two subsidiaries of the world's largest electric vehicle maker BYD sued the US Department of Defence over a federal law banning any Pentagon contractors from hiring lobbyists that also work with blacklisted firms, arguing that it breached BYD's First Amendment rights.
8月，全球最大无人机制造商大疆创新就其被列入黑名单提起上诉，法院认定其主张有理据，即非密级记录不支持“大疆为中国国防工业基础做出贡献”这一结论。
In August, DJI, the world's largest drone maker, appealed its inclusion on the blacklist with the court finding merit in its argument that unclassified records did not support the conclusion that the company contributed to the Chinese defence industrial base.
上诉法院下令下级法院重新考虑其驳回大疆申请从五角大楼名单中移除的决定，该案件仍在审理中。
The appeals court ordered the lower court to reconsider its decision to reject DJI's bid to be removed from the Pentagon list and the case is ongoing.
同一个月，生物技术企业药明康德也赢得了美国联邦法院的初步禁令，阻止其被列入该名单。药明康德称，五角大楼的认定具有政治动机。
The same month, biotech firm WuXi AppTec Co also won a preliminary injunction from a US federal court, which blocked its inclusion on the list. WuXi said the Pentagon designation was politically motivated.
