China imposes sanctions on 13 US military firms

China has imposed sanctions on 13 US military firms on Thursday in response to the United States' decision to sell arms to Taiwan, China's Foreign Ministry said.

China has strongly opposed the US decision to authorize the potential sale of $385 million worth of additional parts and support for Taiwan's F-16 fighter jets and radars.

This, according to Beijing, undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The US, like most countries in the world, does not have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, but is Taiwan's most important international backer and supplies it with weapons, which angers Beijing.

Taiwan and China split in 1949, following a civil war that ended with the Communist Party ruling China.

The self-governing island has never been part of the People's Republic of China, but Beijing sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that it must reclaim, even by force.

The companies sanctioned are Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc, BRINC Drones Inc and Shield AI Inc, the Foreign Office said on Thursday.

Other companies facing sanctions are Rapid Flight LLC, Red Six Solutions, SYNEXXUS Inc, Firestorm Labs Inc, Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems Inc, HavocAI, Neros Technologies, Cyberlux Corporation, Domo Tactical Communications and Group Ë.

In addition, China will freeze the assets of six executives from five companies, including Raythen, BAE Systems and United Technologies in China, and bar them from entering the country.

Organizations and individuals from China are prohibited from doing business with them./ Rel
