Analysts: Court decision helps Chinese firms facing national security issues

A United States court ruling in favor of China's Sany Group Co Ltd, which challenged a White House order, signals an early victory for the company and sets a precedent for other Chinese companies hoping to enter the US market, the company and analysts said.

The US Court of Appeals in Washington, DC, ruled on Tuesday that Ralls Corp, owned by machinery giant Sany, must be allowed to challenge evidence that US President Barack Obama drew on to bar its operations connected to wind-farm projects in Oregon.
