The Department of War removed WuXi AppTec Co., Ltd. from its Section 1260H list of Chinese military companies operating in the United States, in a notice published Nov. 10, 2026.[1][2]

The notice ties the removal to an Aug. 7 court order granting WuXi AppTec’s motion for a preliminary injunction.[2] It describes the injunction as barring the department from enforcing, implementing or otherwise giving effect to the company’s designation.[2]

The decision removes WuXi AppTec from the list published June 10, 2026.[2] The removal notice is dated Nov. 5 and states no separate effective date.[1][2]

## Why it matters

The Pentagon expressly leaves open relisting WuXi AppTec on additional or supplementary grounds.[2] Section 1260H calls for additions or deletions to the list at least annually.[2]
