2026-11505 — DoD Assistance to Non-Government, Entertainment-Oriented Media Productions
The Department of Defense is updating its rules to stop helping movies, TV shows, games, and documentaries that censor their content to please the Chinese government. Starting July 9, 2026, producers must follow new steps to prove their projects don’t bow to these censorship demands if they want DoD support. This change affects entertainment creators and aims to keep U.S. projects free and fair without foreign influence.

Starting May 7, 2026, the Department of Defense won’t make most new defense contractors share their greenhouse gas emissions unless it’s really needed for the contract. This change helps nontraditional contractors avoid extra paperwork, but DoD can still ask for info if it’s directly tied to the job. It’s a smart move to keep things fair and focused without slowing down important defense work.

This helps keep our defense projects safe from hidden foreign influence. If you’re a contractor or subcontractor, get ready to share ownership info by July 6, 2026, or risk delays in your contracts.

The new rules kick in 30 days after being published, with no extra costs for the public.
2026-11571 — Notice of Availability of Designation of Chinese Military Companies
The U.S. Department of Defense just named several Chinese companies as military-linked and operating in the U.S. This means these companies, like Qihoo 360 and CH UAV, are officially flagged for their ties to China’s military. The list updates every year through 2030, so businesses and investors should watch out for potential restrictions or impacts on deals involving these companies.
