- Congressional committee on China asks Wizards and Capitals owner to cut ties with Alibaba
A U.S. Congressional committee has asked the owner of Washington’s NBA and NHL teams to cut ties with Alibaba, citing the Pentagon’s designation of the company as a Chinese military entity. The letter from Rep. John Moolenaar included a July 15 deadline and referenced Alibaba’s ongoing legal challenge against the Pentagon’s decision. The committee has previously scrutinized sports-related ties to Chinese companies, including Alibaba’s Olympic sponsorships.
