• 🕰 CXMT sued the US Department of Defense on 08-29 to get off the Section 1260H "Chinese military company" list. The suit, filed in Washington federal court and naming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, argues CXMT makes standard civilian JEDEC-spec commercial chips, has no PLA ties, and that the designation lacked evidentiary support and violated due process. It notes that DoD published a notice in February indicating CXMT would be removed from the list, then withdrew that notice the same day without explanation. It joins suits by Alibaba, DJI, Hesai and WuXi AppTec over the same list. ⚠️ Dated 08-29, one day before this run's window — not previously on the record, checked against both the recent digests and the thread's own timeline. Note what this does to a live expectation: apple-cxmt-senate- deadline asks whether Apple will publicly commit to rejecting CXMT memory per a Senate deadline. The designation that deadline rests on is now contested in court. (South China Morning Post) 2026-08-31
