China "Shadow Boxes" U.S. Defense Firms; Hits Boeing, Northrop & 18 Others With Sanctions After Record Taiwan Arms Deal
China has announced fresh sanctions against 20 additional American defense companies, escalating tensions between Beijing and Washington over Taiwan. The move comes as the United States continues to approve arms sales and military support for Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province. According to Chinese authorities, the sanctioned firms are accused of undermining China’s sovereignty and national security through weapons manufacturing, defense technology, and military cooperation with Taiwan. The sanctions reportedly include restrictions on business operations, investments, and partnerships within China. This action reflects Beijing’s growing frustration with US involvement in the Taiwan issue and signals a tougher stance against foreign defense suppliers. Analysts believe the decision could further strain US-China relations and impact global defense supply chains. As geopolitical competition intensifies in the Indo-Pacific region, the Taiwan question remains one of the most sensitive flashpoints between the world’s two largest economies.
