I'll play journalist and link the actual list (PDF). I wondered why Samsung, a company that literally produces military weapons, wasnt on the list. The list is specifically just for Chinese companies. There is apparently a law requiring the Department of Defence maintain and publish this list.
Probably because South Korea is a close military ally.
The PDF you linked: Designation of Chinese Military Companies.
Samsung is Korean.
And while I'm sure the Chinese Government would love to dig out a map from the Han Dynasty, claiming rule over the entire Korean Peninsula, I doubt Samsung is making weapons for them.
Isn't the South Korean peninsula home to several dozen US military bases?
You don't need to go all the way back to the Han Dynasty to find the charter that gives US the right to militarily occupy the continent indefinitely. The Truman Doctrine seems sufficient.
It seems like most of the replies you are getting didn’t read your post.
I am always reminded how precise and verbose one must be in text since it's so easy to intend one meaning but have people interpret another.
Naw it was perfectly clear. People just need to read past the first sentence.
Seriously! I know that BLUF is a thing but do that many people seriously not read past the first line before feeling the need to correct someone on the internet? @ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca as a fellow member of the human race let me formally thank you for forming a question, seeking out information that either confirms or denies your question, and informing everyone else who may have had the same misconception.
