上週末，趁着國內臨近春節，美國又耍了個&#34;小手段&#34;，其國防部一度宣佈將包括阿里、百度、比亞迪在內的多家公司納入 Chinese Military Companies、即 CMC 清單。導致阿里等受影響的公司股價盤前一度跳水，但隨後美國防部又 “玩鬧式” 地迅速將此公告撤回了，相關公司最後也收回了大多數跌幅。實際上，美國的這種 “小手段” 已用過多次，海豚君在此前的《中概退市：這次 “狼真會來”？別怕，不是末日！》中有過比較詳細的討論，多少有些見怪不怪了。首先，被納入 CMC 清單的直接影響只是 -- 被禁止與美國國防部及其相關方進行合作往來，但不會直接影響美國資金投資於 CMC 清單內的企業，和直接影響民間的生意往來。只有被納入 “升級版” 的 NS-CMIC 清單內的企業才會被直接禁止美國資金對其進行投資，進而對相關公司股價產生實際性影響。但該 “NS-CMIC” 名單自 21 年 12 月後就再無更新。此前，小米和騰訊也曾短暫被納入國 CMC 清單，但隨後經過上述或溝通都被移出了清單，短暫的恐慌性下跌反而給了不錯的入場機會。結合這個小動作的時間節點，和發佈後又立刻撤回的操作，海豚君當前傾向於這更多隻是美國趁着國內喜慶過年時故意 “噁心”、並試探一下中方政府的態度，為特朗普可能在 4 月的訪華談判上一些籌碼。綜上，海豚君目前覺得大概率不會有什麼實質性的影響，但也不能排除之後美國不會又再有拉扯，把撤回的公告再發布出來，保持關注吧。$Alibaba(BABA.US) $Baidu(BIDU.US)

The Pentagon briefly added Alibaba and BYD to its list of companies with alleged ties to the Chinese military, raising concerns of heightened U.S.-China tensions ahead of the Trump-Xi summit in April. The updated list, which also included Baidu, was reportedly withdrawn shortly after submission. While inclusion on the list does not impose immediate legal consequences, it poses reputational risks and suggests potential future punitive measures. The move follows U.S. intelligence warnings regarding Alibaba's national security threat and BYD's legal battle over tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.

- The Pentagon named Alibaba Group and BYD Co. as companies with alleged ties to the Chinese military but quickly withdrew the updated document.  
- This decision could heighten tensions between the U.S. and China ahead of the upcoming summit between Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping.  
- While being listed does not have immediate legal consequences, it poses reputational risks and could lead to future punitive measures from the United States.

Pentagon Adds Alibaba, BYD To Chinese Military List, Then Reportedly Pulls Filing As Trump-Xi Meet Looms

In today’s pre-mkt summary for Subscribers: Stocks rose as sentiment improved after yesterday’s volatile session, with traders awaiting today’s release of minutes from the Jan 27-28 Fed meeting for clues in the Fed’s forward rate path. 10yr Treasury yields rose and precious metals recovered. We continue to expect equities to reach new highs as cooling inflation and slowing employment growth raise the odds of earlier Fed rate cuts, with money markets pricing in two cuts by year-end. We see stocks as neither under- or over-valued: 2026 S&amp;P 500 EPS growth of +12% implies a forward P/E of 22.1x (4.5% earnings yield) and a ~50bp premium to 10-year Treasuries, consistent with historical non-recessionary norms. We remain cautious on $Tesla(TSLA.US) as the bull case for TSLA being the only one to solve for general unsupervised autonomy continues to weaken with $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Baidu(BIDU.US), $WeRide(WRD.US), $Pony AI(PONY.US), and $Amazon(AMZN.US) completing 750K paid unsupervised rides per week, and $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) about to offer its full autonomy stack to OEMs starting 1H 2026, which we believe will democratize unsupervised autonomy.
