China’s Ministry of Commerce announced on Thursday that it has added 28 U.S. defense enterprises to its export control list.
The ministry stated that China has also banned the export of dual-use products to these companies, effective immediately.
This decision aims to protect national security and fulfill international obligations, including nuclear non-proliferation, the ministry explained.
Additionally, it was reported that 10 companies were included in the list of unreliable organizations due to their involvement in arms sales to Taiwan.
Among the companies on the sanctions list are General Dynamics, Boeing Defence, Space & Security, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Raytheon Missiles & Defence.
