Beijing imposed new sanctions on U.S. defense companies and executives on Dec. 26 after the United States green-lit its largest-ever weapons package for Taiwan.
In a statement, the regime’s Foreign Ministry said its sanctions against 20 U.S. companies and 10 defense executives mean their assets in China will be frozen, and all organizations and individuals within China will be banned from “engaging in transaction, cooperation, and other activities with them.”
