BEIJING, Dec 27 (Alliance News): China has imposed countermeasures on seven US military-related institutions and their senior managers, citing the United States’ recent large-scale arms sales to Taiwan.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, addressing a daily press conference, condemned the arms deal as a serious violation of the one-China principle and the three China-US joint declarations.
Mao emphasized that the action interferes with China’s internal affairs and undermines its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“The United States’ support for Taiwan’s secession through military means is like shooting itself in the foot,” Mao said, warning that China would take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty and developmental interests.
In accordance with Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 15 of China’s Law on the Prevention of Foreign Sanctions, the targeted entities include Insto, Hudson Technologies, Cerwin Technologies, Raytheon Canada, Raytheon Australia, Arkam, and Ocean Engineering International.
The sanctions freeze their movable and immovable assets in China and prohibit any transactions or cooperation between these entities and Chinese organizations or individuals.
These countermeasures take effect from December 27, marking a significant escalation in US-China tensions amid increasing support for Taiwan by Washington.
