On Wednesday, May 22, the Chinese authorities imposed sanctions against 12 US arms manufacturers and their executives. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.
Details
Beijing said that the United States allegedly ignores China's "unbiased position" on the "Ukrainian crisis" (as the war in Ukraine is called in China - ed.), imposes "illegal" unilateral sanctions and resorts to "intimidation and economic coercion.
In addition, China is outraged that Washington is selling arms to Taiwan, which allegedly "undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Sanctions were imposed on 12 American defense companies and their executives.
In particular, we are talking about:
- Локхід Мартін Ракети та управління вогнем;

- Javelin Joint Venture;

Senior executives of all companies are banned from entering China. Their work permits will be revoked, and their guest status and residence applications will not be approved.
