NEW YORK -- Investment firm IDG Capital was removed from a Pentagon list of companies with ties to China's military, the U.S. Defense Department said Tuesday.

IDG Capital, which has offices in the U.S. and China, was added in January along with technology companies and manufacturers. It was the first private equity and venture capital firm to appear on the list.
