China-based Hesai appeals ruling over US linking firm to Chinese military

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -China-based lidar manufacturer Hesai Group appealed a ruling on Monday upholding a U.S. government decision to add it to a list of companies allegedly working with Beijing's military.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington ruled on Friday that the Defense Department's finding that Hesai contributes to the Chinese defense industrial base is supported by substantial evidence reflecting lidar's military application, national security concerns around Chinese lidar makers and Hesai's cooperation with Chinese agencies.

Hesai said it appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
