The Chinese authorities have imposed sanctions against seven American military industry companies and their management for supplying weapons to the island of Taiwan, according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
As noted in a press release from the Chinese MFA, these measures take effect on Friday and target Insitu, Inc., Hudson Technologies Co., Saronic Technologies, Inc., Raytheon Canada, Raytheon Australia, Aerkomm Inc., and Oceaneering International, Inc.
“Their movable and immovable properties, and other kinds of assets within China shall be frozen. All organizations and individuals within China shall be prohibited from engaging in transaction, cooperation and other activities with them,” noted the Chinese MFA.
“Recently, the United States announced another substantial military assistance and arms sale to China’s Taiwan region. Its ‘National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025’ includes multiple negative sections on China. These seriously violate the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. Joint Communiqués, interfere in China’s internal affairs, and undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” added the Chinese MFA.
