Hesai Group on Thursday said it plans to continue its legal process against the U.S. after the Pentagon reinstated the lidar manufacturer on its blacklist of Chinese firms allegedly working with Beijing’s military.

The U.S. Justice Department said in a court filing last week that the Pentagon removed Hesai from the blacklist, but planned to relist the Chinese company “based on the latest information available.”
