Beijing, [Date]—China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Tuesday that seven U.S. companies have been added to its unreliable entity list for selling arms to China's Taiwan region.
The Ministry stated that the decision was made by the unreliable entity list work mechanism in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. A series of restrictive measures targeting these U.S. companies have also been unveiled, aiming to safeguard national sovereignty and security.
The addition of these companies to the list underscores China's firm stance against foreign interference in its internal affairs, especially concerning the Taiwan region. By implementing these measures, China seeks to protect its core interests and maintain regional stability.
The Ministry emphasized that foreign entities must adhere to Chinese laws and regulations, and respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Companies that violate these principles and engage in actions that harm China's national security will face consequences under the unreliable entity list framework.
This move may have significant implications for international businesses operating in China, highlighting the importance of compliance with Chinese policies.
