China Threatens Retaliation After Pentagon Adds Alibaba, Baidu, BYD to Military Blacklist

China's Ministry of Commerce on Saturday threatened to retaliate after the US Defense Department added a number of Chinese companies, including Alibaba (HKG:9988), Baidu (HKG:9888) and BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594), to its list of firms it deems linked with the Chinese military."China will resolutely and forcefully retaliate, and the US will bear full responsibility for the consequences," a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said over the weekend, adding that "China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition" to the designations.The Pentagon published its updated Section 1260H list on June 8, which supersedes an earlier version from January 2025. The updated roster now also includes electric-vehicle maker Nio (HKG:9866), pharmaceutical research and manufacturing services provider WuXi AppTec (HKG:2359, SHA:603259), AI robotics company Robosense Technology (HKG:2498), and Unitree Robotics, which is currently pursuing an initial public offering in Shanghai. Nvidia recently said it plans to collaborate with Unitree to build robots.The list also names telcos China Mobile (HKG:0941, SHA:600941), China Telecom (HKG:0728, SHA:601728), and China Unicom (HKG:0762), as well as chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International (HKG:0981, SHA:688981), Huawei Technologies, Contemporary Amperex Technology (SHE:300750, HKG:3750) and Tencent (HKG:0700), most of which were added in January.The June update also reinstated ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies on the list after they were withdrawn from the February version. Both companies are among China's leading memory chipmakers and are currently pursuing public listings.As the Pentagon noted, being on the list means an entity is identified as a contributor to China's "Military-Civil Fusion strategy," supporting the modernization goals of the People's Liberation Army "by ensuring it can acquire advanced technologies and expertise developed by PRC companies, universities, and research programs that appear to be civilian entities."While these Chinese companies face no formal sanctions under the list, the Pentagon is prohibited from entering into, renewing or extending contracts with them or acquiring their products starting June 30, 2026.Several newly listed companies pushed back, with Alibaba saying it is "not a Chinese military company nor part of any military-civil fusion strategy." The company warned that it will take "all available legal action against attempts to misrepresent the company."Baidu said there was "no justification" for its inclusion, adding that it does not expect the designation to impact its business.BYD, which recently toppled Tesla as the world's top electric vehicle seller, echoed Alibaba and Baidu's statements, adding that the move will not impact its business.Meanwhile, analysts from Jefferies said the update was largely anticipated, noting that an earlier version of the list had briefly appeared in February before being withdrawn without explanation.Jefferies also noted on June 9 that while the Defense Department is prohibited from procurement of goods and services from entities in the list, "it does not restrict US citizens from engaging in trading activity with the listed companies."In a separate Jefferies note on June 9, analysts from the bank said 10 companies were removed from the list, including, most notably, CNOOC (HKG:0883, SHA:600938)."The immediate implication for companies on the 1260H list is that they are prohibited from providing any goods or services to the US military directly or via contractors. We believe the final decision-maker is the US president," said Jefferies."President Trump has just concluded his China trip, and, in our view, the US-China relationship is moving in an incrementally positive direction. In our view, President Trump is largely occupied with Iran, the high oil price (thus higher inflation risk), and the upcoming mid-term election, implying there will be less motivation for the US to escalate geopolitical tension with China."

World Bank Cuts Growth Forecasts for Japan, China as Middle East Conflict Weighs on Asia

The World Bank trimmed its 2026 growth forecasts for Japan and China on Thursday, citing rising energy prices, disrupted trade, and weakening demand stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.Global growth is forecast to slow to 2.5% in 2026, down from 2.9% in 2025, the weakest pace since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the organization's June 2026 Global Economic Prospects report.The World Bank cut its 2026 growth forecast for Japan to 0.7% from its January estimate of 0.8% as rising energy prices weigh on consumption and exports. In 2025, the economy grew by an estimated 1.1%.GDP growth is expected to recover modestly to 0.9% in 2027 before easing again to 0.8% in 2028 as domestic demand improves on the back of lower inflation and higher wages.Meanwhile, growth in East Asia and the Pacific is projected to moderate to 4.2% in 2026 from 5% in 2025, with China's deceleration driven by subdued domestic demand amid low consumer confidence, the continued property sector adjustment, and a soft labor market, the World Bank said.Growth in China is projected to ease to 4.2% in 2026 from the estimated 5% increase in 2025. The latest forecast is down from the 4.4% estimate the World Bank issued in January.Momentum is expected to accelerate to 4.3% in 2027 before decelerating again in 2028 to 4.2%, "as energy prices ease while diminishing returns to capital, high debt, and demographic pressures continue to lower China's potential growth."Elsewhere, in South Asia, growth is projected to soften to 6.3% in 2026 from 7% in 2025, mainly reflecting the adverse impact of the Middle East conflict, including shortages of energy and agricultural products that put upward pressure on energy and food prices, according to the World Bank.However, the latest forecast for the region was up from 6.2% in January.Growth in India is projected to moderate to 6.6% in fiscal year 2026/27 from 7.7% in 2025, reflecting a slowdown in private demand growth as a result of higher energy prices and other input costs, though a reduction in Goods and Services Tax rates is expected to provide some support for consumer spending.In January, the World Bank estimated India's GDP growth for 2026 at 6.5%."Developing countries have faced a series of challenges over the last decade," said Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank Group."In response to the current shock, we are providing liquidity where it is needed now - and we are ready with additional financing, guarantees, and private-sector solutions if pressures deepen. Our job is to help countries steady the ship, keep reforms moving, and emerge stronger on the other side."Brent crude oil prices are projected to average $94 a barrel in 2026, 36% above 2025 levels, assuming that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted through July, the World Bank said.The institution warned that if energy supply disruptions prove more severe than currently assumed and are exacerbated by substantial financial stress, global growth could fall to 1.3% in 2026, with inflation forecast to rise to 4.4%.

Market Chatter: Asia May Face Stagflation Amid Middle East Crisis, ADB President Says

With the war in the Middle East driving up inflation in global economies, Asian economies are at risk of stagflation, Nikkei Asia reported Thursday, citing Asian Development Bank President Masato Kanda.As inflation pressures mount, "There is now a risk of stagflation spiral" due to "declines in demand through lower real wages, and increases in debt burdens from higher interest rates," Kanda told the news outlet on the sidelines of Nikkei's annual Future of Asia forum.According to Kanda, higher shipping, energy, and input costs will lead to a further rise in consumer prices in Asia. There was a risk that the supply chain system would "physically stop functioning," he said.Asian countries are especially impacted by the energy crisis arising from the Middle East war, as they are highly dependent on energy imports that come in through the Strait of Hormuz, the report added."In addition to diversification of the destination of oil and gas, accelerated use of renewable energy and safe nuclear power, as well as stronger energy saving, should have been promoted," Kanda said.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

China's Power Storage Sector to Drive Energy Transition, S&P Says

China's power storage sector is key to resolving the country's energy bottlenecks, S&P Global Ratings said in a recent release.The sector will anchor wind and solar integration, lessen curtailment, and boost system reliability, S&P said.Greater storage will also facilitate renewable power companies' shift to market-based pricing, the rating agency said.S&P expects battery energy storage systems to grow faster amid a rise in the renewable energy mix that also includes pumped-hydro projects.Independent power producers will see additional revenue sources through the battery projects, which will also hedge against increasingly unstable spot market prices, S&P credit analyst Scott Chui said.Better economics and revenue visibility should encourage more energy companies to invest in power storage and narrow risks of intermittent renewable power, S&P said.The rating agency expects players to sufficiently cushion against upcoming large investments, estimated at 1 trillion renminbi over the next five years, in line with their capital expenditure plans.

Fitch Retains Neutral Outlook on Asia-Pacific Insurance Sector

Fitch Ratings has kept a neutral outlook for the Asia-Pacific insurance sector, according to a recent release.Solid capital buffers, controlled underwriting, and improved asset-liability management mitigate market headwinds, modestly increasing claim inflation, and new regulatory solvency regimes, according to Fitch.Moderately higher claim costs, along with supply chain disruption from geopolitical tensions, have reduced nonlife underwriting margins in the region, Fitch said.Increasing health and motor losses pressure profitability in Korea and Indonesia, while home and motor repair costs show stickiness in Australia, the rating agency said.Rising interest rates, a better reinsurance environment, and prior-period pricing actions offset claim inflation, but late-cycle market and credit risk linger, Fitch said.Japanese insurers face higher capital requirements through a new economic value-based solvency regulation, while Indonesian counterparts are undergoing the first phase of higher minimum equity requirements, according to Fitch.Meanwhile, lingering structural issues led to a deteriorating outlook in China and Taiwan, the rating agency said.
