0841 GMT - The Pentagon's inclusion of Baidu, Alibaba to its military-ties list may have a limited impact, Citi analysts say, noting both firms don't have direct business exposure related to the list's restrictions. As Tencent was added to the same list last year, it is a useful reference that "the designation did not trigger operational restrictions or ownership limitations with limited impact on business fundamentals" of the company, Citi says. Most investors are likely aware that the inclusion to this list "does not necessarily result in actual sanctions or affect fundamental business operations," they say. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
