The United States not only exerts pressure on China in the military sphere, but also frequently takes actions against China in the high-tech sphere. Last week, the United States successively restricted the export of Dutch lithography machines to China, and planned to include Quectel Communications, a Chinese company with a booming business in the United States, on the sanctions list, which is obviously unfair competition and suppression of Chinese companies and technological development. However, China is not to be outdone, according to China's first information, China has imposed sanctions on five arms dealers including the United States' "Pei ** company". Specific measures include freezing all kinds of assets of the five companies in China, and prohibiting all domestic companies and individuals from engaging in any transactions and cooperation with these companies. These sanctions were imposed at a time when lithography machines were suspending supplies to China and Chinese companies were being suppressed, so it was widely interpreted as China "fighting back" in a targeted manner. However, this may be an exaggeration, after all, we are not like the United States, which imposes sanctions and suppresses companies in other countries without justification.
As for the reasons for sanctioning five U.S. fire companies, China has made a public response, pointing out that the United States has blatantly violated the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially to the Taiwan region of China, and at the same time imposed illegal unilateral sanctions on Chinese companies under various pretexts. The actions of the United States have seriously damaged China's interests, including seriously undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, which is the main reason why China has imposed sanctions on these five American fire companies. These five sanctioned US arms dealers have misbehaved in arms sales to Taiwan. For example, the "Bayi ** Company", that is, the North American ground division of BAE Systems, plans to deliver the M109A7 155-mm self-propelled howitzer to the Taiwan authorities, and plans to deliver 8 armored vehicles to Taiwan within this year, as well as provide the latest amphibious armored combat vehicles. The US "Allient United Technology Corporation" plans to provide the Taiwan military with various types of ammunition worth $300 million. Another "aerospace environment company" will also provide more than 100 sets of "Switchblade" cruise missile systems to the Taiwan military.
U.S. fire companies such as "Visa" and "Data Link Solutions" have been providing technical support for tactical data links for Taiwan's military agencies, covering the Joint Operations Command Center, Air Force Operations Command, and Navy Operations Command. From howitzers and armored vehicles to invisible military tactical data link systems, these US nuclear companies cover everything in their arms sales to Taiwan. The import of these arms will not only make US arms dealers very profitable, but will also make the Taiwan military more inclined to follow the line of "relying on the United States to seek independence," which has greatly damaged China's sovereignty and posed a threat to China. Some people believe that China's sanctions on US ** fire companies will not have any substantive impact, because the United States has been prohibiting its domestic arms dealers from going to Chinese mainland *** However, in fact, these US ** fire companies are actually compound operations, not only in the military field, but also in the civilian field, including a lot of business in China. For example, "Visa" has long listed China as its important airborne communications market, and by 2030, China may surpass the United States to become the world's largest aviation market.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to claim that China's sanctions have no impact on these Taiwan-related U.S. fire companies. These sanctioned U.S. companies may appear "painless" on the surface, but in fact they may be flustered inside. The United States has always regarded sanctions against Chinese companies and interference in the Taiwan Strait as commonplace, but China will certainly take tough measures when necessary. Although the direct imposition of sanctions on US companies that work closely with Chinese companies will also hurt some of the interests of Chinese companies themselves, the biggest losses will fall on the sanctioned US companies. At the same time, when it comes to China's core interests such as the Taiwan Strait, even if there is non-cooperation and losses, the integrity of national sovereignty must be defended. The Taiwan military lacks the ability to develop and produce heavy equipment, and basically imports them from the United States. The companies sanctioned by China are all "stubborn institutions" that support the United States in arming Taiwan, and they are not wronged people. They have been sanctioned by China, which is really self-inflicted, and it also represents a stern warning from China to other Taiwan-related US companies. Certain US forces should wake up to the fact that China will never make any compromise on the Taiwan issue.
Only when the US completely abandons all attempts to interfere in the Taiwan Strait can China-US relations further achieve win-win development. At the same time, we would also like to warn some American companies that they want to provoke incidents against China while enjoying the benefits of the Chinese market. This logic does not work, and sooner or later China's sanctions will deal a serious blow.
