China sanctions two American companies

China’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday imposed sanctions against American companies General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) and General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) for selling weapons and military equipment to Taiwan.

According to the statement of this ministry, the movable and immovable assets of these companies will be blocked in China and their senior management will be prohibited from entering the country.

These sanctions came after Beijing once again accused the US of meddling in China’s internal affairs by meddling in Taiwan’s status.
