China announced sanctions against 20 US defence companies and 10 executives in response to the US's approval of large-scale arms sales to Taiwan, worth over $10 billion. Beijing condemns US actions, warning against escalating Taiwan tensionsChina on Friday announced strong countermeasures against several US defence companies and senior executives in response to Washington's recent decision to approve large-scale arms sales to Taiwan, Global Times reported. Beijing said the US arms sales to Taiwan "seriously violate the one-China principle and the three China-US Joint Communiques, interfere in China's internal affairs, and undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity". Any company or individual who engages in arms sales to Taiwan will pay the price for the wrongdoing. China has repeatedly opposed US arms sales to Taiwan and warned that such moves threaten regional peace and stability.
