White House accuses Alibaba of aiding Chinese military operations against US targets

Washington has accused online marketplace company Alibaba of providing technological support for Chinese military operations against targets in the United States, the Financial Times said on Friday, citing a White House memo.

The national security memo includes declassified top-secret intelligence on how the Chinese group supplies the People’s Liberation Army with capabilities that the White House believes threaten U.S. security, the FT reported.

The report did not specify which capabilities or operations were involved, or whether the U.S. was seeking to respond in any way.
