The Trump administration removed WuXi AppTec from its list of “Chinese military companies” operating in the U.S. This decision follows a court ruling last August that temporarily blocked the designation after WuXi filed a lawsuit claiming it was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act.
Previously, the administration had placed WuXi AppTec on the list due to concerns about its ties to the Chinese government and military. This designation raised alarms regarding U.S. biotech leadership amid increasing competition from Chinese firms. WuXi is viewed by some in Washington as a potential threat to national security.
