China's foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang reportedly told journalists in Beijing on Monday, that business ties with U.S. firms involved in the sale would be ended if the deal went through. Grevatt added that China has previously threatened potential sanctions against U.S. firms but has failed to take any action.

Although Geng refused to specify any U.S. companies, it is known that Honeywell and General Dynamics are the major names behind the tanks while Raytheon is the manufacturer of Stinger missiles.IHS Markit's Grevatt said any ban "could feasibly impact" companies involved in sales of non-military products to China such as within the auto and aerospace sectors.
