BEIJING (AP) — China on Thursday announced sanctions against two U.S. companies over what it says is
their support for arms sales to Taiwan, the self governing island democracy Beijing claims as its own
territory to be recovered by force if necessary.
The announcement freezes the assets of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and General Dynamics
Land Systems held within China. The measure also bars the companies’ management from entering the
country.
It wasn’t immediately clear what, if any, assets the companies have within China, which remains heavily
reliant on foreign aerospace technology even as it attempts to build its own presence in the field. (AP)
