China Sanctions U.S. Companies Over Taiwan Military Aid

Beijing targets seven firms and executives following U.S. approval of $571 million in defense support for Taiwan.

China announced sanctions on seven U.S. companies and their senior executives in response to recent military aid and arms sales to Taiwan.
The sanctions include asset freezes in China and a ban on collaboration with Chinese organizations or individuals.
The U.S. recently approved $571.3 million in defense assistance and $385 million in arms sales to Taiwan, which Beijing views as undermining its sovereignty.
China's Foreign Ministry criticized the U.S. defense budget for 2025, which allocates resources for Taiwan's security and restricts military purchases of Chinese goods.
Tensions between the U.S. and China over Taiwan have escalated, with Beijing conducting military drills near the island and warning against further U.S. support.
