    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.

      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.

        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.

      Probably because South Korea is a close military ally.
