On Thursday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry imposed sanctions against three U.S. military-linked companies and 10 senior executives in response to U.S. arms sales to the Taiwan region.
The targeted enterprises are Edge Autonomy Operations LLC, Huntingdon Ingalls Industries Inc., and Skydio Inc.
As part of the sanctions, the movable and immovable properties, along with other assets of the individuals within the Chinese mainland, will be frozen.
Additionally, all organizations and individuals within the Chinese mainland are prohibited from engaging in transactions, cooperation, and other activities with these sanctioned entities and individuals, according to the ministry's statement.
The 10 targeted individuals will also be denied visas and entry into China, including the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.
This move underscores the escalating tensions between China and the United States over military support to the Taiwan region.
