China’s Retaliation: Nine U.S. Military Firms Sanctioned After Taiwan Arms Deal

Daniel Kim Views  

China has decided to impose additional sanctions on nine U.S. military-linked firms.

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Thursday through its website, “The U.S.’s arms sale to China’s Taiwan region seriously violates the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, especially the August 17 Communiqué of 1982. The sale severely undermines China’s sovereignty and security interests, harms China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and sends a wrong message to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces.” The statement clarified that these firms would be sanctioned under the Foreign Sanctions Law.

The sanctions target Sierra Nevada Corporation, Stick Rudder Enterprises LLC, Cubic Corporation, S3 AeroDefense, TCOM Limited Partnership, and TextOre, among others.

The Chinese government has frozen all movable, immovable, and other types of assets of these firms within China. This action is interpreted as a countermeasure to recent U.S. sanctions against China.

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.
