The **Pentagon** has added five more Chinese firms, including tech giant **Tencent**, to a list alleging support for the Chinese military.
China's foreign ministry condemned the move as **overstretching** the concept of national security and called for immediate corrections.
Beijing warns that such actions are aimed at containing China's **high-quality development** and threaten rights to development.
The Pentagon's designation aims to counter Beijing's military-civil fusion strategy, although it has no legal consequences but could impact the firms' reputations.
Tencent has stated its inclusion on the list is a **mistake**, emphasizing it is not a military entity or supplier.
