The sanctions take effect on September 18 and include an asset freeze. In addition, organizations and individuals in China are prohibited from doing business with these companies.
Chinese authorities have included nine US defense-related companies on sanctions lists for supplying arms to Taiwanese authorities. The sanctions will take effect on September 18. Western media reported this in connection with a statement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
It was noted that the sanctions affected, in particular, the Sierra Nevada Corporation (a contractor in the field of aerospace and national security) and Stick Rudder Enterprises LLC. These include frozen assets. In addition, organizations and individuals in China are prohibited from dealing with them.
It will be recalled that the US State Department approved the sale of spare parts for combat aircraft to Taiwan worth approximately $228 million to help the island’s military maintain the combat readiness of its air force against the background of the threat of invasion by China.
In the past, the US State Department approved the sale of drones and missiles to Taiwan worth about $360 million. We are talking about anti-personnel and loitering ammunition for the Switchblade 300 drone and related equipment, as well as the equipped ALTIUS 600M-V drone.
