) for involvement in the latest U.S. arms sale to Chinese-claimed Taiwan, China said on Tuesday, adding tension to its troubled relationship with the United States.
The U.S. weapons maker is the main contractor for a $620 million upgrade package for Taiwan’s Patriot surface-to-air missiles, which the U.S. government approved last week. “In order to safeguard the country’s interests, China has decided to take necessary steps, and put sanctions on the main contractor for this sale, Lockheed Martin,” Zhao told reporters, without giving details.The United States, like most countries, has no official diplomatic ties with Taiwan, but is bound by law to provide the democratic island with the means to defend itself.
Taiwan Defence Minister Yen Teh-fa, visiting troops during the annual Han Kuang military exercise, said they needed to be strong in the face of “all sorts of threats and provocations” from China.
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.

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
