Well they can't really say much about Huawei then can they...

Communists: Can't live with them cause they can't live with you.

China 🇨🇳 is one of the most irrational Nation I have ever seen. They make decisions without thinking. Sanctioning a company that has no business with you? SMH. Example of a complete'Mental Bankrupt of a country' .

Looking like China wants to harm our economy. Imagine that.

Sanction how? Details ?

Trump is he not a shareholder of this company? Hmmmm?

F . . k China

I am curious that is there any bussiness cooperation between China and Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin is allowed to sell weapons to China?

🤔I don't think Lockheed Martin is allowed to sell their F22 to china🤔because of national security

You should do some digging on Lockheed Martin. They're into nefarious deeds of many types & sorts.

Taiwan is part of China, as claimed by China. China sanction someone selling arms to China, is a special Chinese Logic.

How to sanction a business that never sells you things?

It should be the other way around 😂😂😂

Why would China want to sanction a US company for working with China? I thought Taiwan was just party of the PRC?

Sure, while going full spy operation to steal LM’s trade secrets...

Of course they do arrogant & clumsy Taiwan will always have Adequate Weapons to defend themselves from China Besides, it isn't That Hard to defeat Tyrants Anywhere there is No 'China' No Huge Monster Just 1.3b Individuals that Eat, Breathe, Shit, Piss, & Talk Vectors LOL

TaiwanIsNotChina , Nature Hierarch blast china ...

How cute! What the hell they purchase from Lockheed Martin? And other hand Lockheed Martin will not give them even obsolete weapons. What are they talking about? They may put sanctions on Sun, Mars and Moon in coming days.

China says the latest U.S. move is aggravating tensions in the South China SeaThe U.S. State Department said Monday that 'Beijing's claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying to control them.' Tuff shit China claiming territory is aggravating tensions in the South China Sea. Building islands out of nothing in other countries' waters & placing military there against their will is what's aggravating things in SCS What do I know? I'm just some idiot who thinks waters 50 miles from one country & 1000 from another probably belong to the one 50 miles away

US declares 'most' of China's maritime claims in South China Sea illegalUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday announced a formal rejection of 'most' of China's maritime claims in the South China Sea, the latest in the escalation between Washington and Beijing. Even if he started a war with China, we're vote his arse out! His war powers need to be taken away NOW! AGAIN!! The west needs to disengage as much as possible from China’s economy and recognize Taiwan. Ironic that a major part of China’s economic strength comes from capitalists moving work there to lower wage costs and avoid the cost of worker protection regulations
