WuXi AppTec Co Ltd was removed from a Department of Defense military blacklist following a federal court order in United States, relieving the China-based firm of sanctions. The removal reverses a designation that had targeted the biotechnology provider over alleged military ties. The decision protects the company's commercial access to Western pharmaceutical clients.
