October 26, 2020Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon are the three American companies that have ended up on the list of sanctions decided by China on companies and employees for the sale of arms to Taiwan.

This was announced at a press conference by the spokesman for the Beijing Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian.



We must explain Zaho, "safeguarding the national interests" for this have been taken "appropriate measures" against companies and people who have had "a role in arms sales to Taiwan." For Beijing, Taiwan is a rebel region.



A move that comes after the latest operation announced by the United States on 21 October on the transfer of highly sophisticated weapons worth a total of about 1.8 billion dollars between multiple rocket launchers, long-range air-to-ground missiles and reconnaissance systems.



It remains to be clarified how the sanctions announced may affect given the almost non-existence of activities for the defense of the three US companies in China.
