China Condemns U.S. Sanctions on Chinese Military Suppliers, NGOs

China criticizes new US sanctions on companies involved in training Chinese military pilots and aiding weapons development.
The US placed 43 "entities" on a control list over national security concerns, including Chinese and foreign firms aiding hypersonic weapons or monitoring ethnic minorities.
China urges the US to stop using export controls to undermine Chinese companies.
The sanctions come ahead of the US Secretary of State's visit to Beijing to ease tensions over Taiwan and trade disputes.
Despite frictions, the US and China are communicating to avoid conflict, but Beijing sees the sanctions as an "abuse" of controls.
