1. The case is currently in the early stages of the lawsuit, and the court has not yet ruled on the dispute between the two entities.

Reuters on August 29 that Longxin Storage sought to be removed from the list of "Chinese military-industrial enterprises" by the U.S. Department of Defense under the relevant laws.The list involved restrictions such as U.S. government procurement and could have an impact on corporate reputation and business activities.

Companies deny association with the Liberation Army

According to Reuters’ report on the complaint, Longxin Storage claims it has no connection with the Chinese military and says the DRAM storage chips the company designs, produces and sells are used for civilian and commercial purposes.

Statement and Legal Impact of the United States Department of Defense

According to Reuters, Longxin Storage was previously identified by the U.S. Department of Defense as a “Chinese military-industrial enterprise” and continued to retain it when the list was updated in June

1. Such assertions themselves are not equivalent to criminal charges or court convictions, but can trigger restrictions on aspects such as U.S. government contracts and affect the relationship of relevant enterprises with U.S. markets and supply chains.

In recent years, several Chinese tech companies have challenged similar findings through U.S. courts, which are often based on whether administrative authorities have sufficient evidence, whether they comply with administrative procedures, and whether they have adequate procedural guarantees.

At present, it can be confirmed that Longxin Storage has officially filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Federal Court, demanding to overturn the relevant assertions of the U.S. Department of Defense; the company denies links with the Chinese military. As for the specific evidence based on the U.S. Department of Defense and whether the court ultimately supports the request for Longxin Storage, subsequent judicial documents will still be disclosed and judged.
