A White House national security memo alleges that Alibaba (BABA) has provided the Chinese military with technology support targeting U.S. interests, including access to customer data and AI-related services, The Financial Times’ Demetri Sevastopulo reports. The memo claims employees shared knowledge of “zero-day” software vulnerabilities with the People’s Liberation Army, raising broader U.S. concerns about Chinese cloud and AI capabilities. Alibaba said that “The claims purportedly based on US intelligence that was leaked by your source are complete nonsense. This is plainly an attempt to manipulate public opinion and malign Alibaba.”
