The Pentagon removed WuXi AppTec from its list of Chinese military companies, following a federal court order barring the department from enforcing the company’s designation.
A government posting said the deputy secretary of defense made the determination in light of the Washington court’s order, CNA reported.
WuXi AppTec sued after it was added to the list. The company alleged that the designation was arbitrary, capricious, unsupported by facts and the product of political pressure. The court’s order arose from that lawsuit.
