Beijing’s Warning: New Sanctions Target U.S. Companies Amid Taiwan Tensions

The Chinese government has responded strongly to the United States’ sale of weapons to Taiwan by imposing additional sanctions. On Wednesday, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the U.S.: “The U.S.’s arms sale to China’s Taiwan region seriously violates the ‘one-China’ principle and the three China-US joint communiqués.” In response, China has added nine U.S. military companies to its sanctions list.

The sanctions target notable U.S. firms, including Sierra Nevada Corporation, Stick Rudder Enterprises, Cubic Corporation, S3 AeroDefense, TCOM, and TextOre. The Chinese government has implemented strict measures to freeze the movable and immovable assets of those within China.

Recently, China has been increasingly active in retaliating against U.S. sanctions. Each time the U.S. announces arms sales to Taiwan, Beijing responds by sanctioning major military companies.

On Monday, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), under the U.S. Department of Defense, announced that the U.S. State Department had tentatively approved a $228 million sale of military weapons and services to Taiwan. This deal includes spare parts maintenance for fighter aircraft, returns and reshipments, technical support, and logistical services.

The DSCA stated that this initiative would enhance Taiwan’s defense capabilities and help maintain the region’s geopolitical stability and military balance.

Taiwan’s Presidential Office spokesperson, Kuo Ya-hui, expressed gratitude for the U.S. decision, noting that it would bolster the combat readiness of Taiwan’s air force in response to China’s gray zone tactics. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan thanked the U.S. for its commitment to Taiwan’s security, citing the Six Assurances and the Taiwan Relations Act, both of which affirm Taiwan’s substantive sovereignty.
