China takes action, sanctions 14 entities, what are they doing
On October 9, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued a notice, adding 14 foreign entities that have seriously harmed China's sovereignty, security, and development interests to the Unreliable Entities List. Those listed not only face prohibitions on imports and exports, but also restrictions on investments in China.
Although the names of these companies sound mostly unfamiliar, the things they do behind the scenes are eye-catching, from upgrading aircraft for the Taiwanese military, to specifically researching Chinese chip technology, and even providing high-energy weapons against drones.
These companies can be roughly divided into four categories:
The first category is arms companies directly involved in arms sales to Taiwan, such as BAE Systems, EBIT Systems US Branch, and AeroVironment. They are either selling fighter jet parts or helping the Taiwan region upgrade missile systems, with many of their products already appearing in the current equipment of the Taiwanese military.
The second category is companies that provide high-end military equipment or technical support, such as Irbis Corporation's high-power microwave weapons, which can disable a group of drones at once; while United Technologies Systems Operations Company produces key propulsion systems for U.S. missiles.
The third category is companies specializing in intelligence analysis and electronic warfare systems, such as Future Record, which has long monitored the Chinese network environment, and Tekno-Imaging, whose subsidiaries make a living by disassembling Chinese mobile phone chips and conducting technology traceability reports.
The fourth category is organizations that dress up as think tanks but actually promote anti-China rhetoric, such as the Halifax International Security Forum, which has repeatedly invited "Taiwan independence" figures to attend meetings, acting as a tool for Western discourse warfare.
Although these companies may not be able to be easily named, they are actually crucial screws in the U.S. military suppression chain against China.
For example, Tekno-Imaging once went viral on social media for disassembling the Huawei Mate 60 Pro; another example is Cube Global Defense, which provides simulation training systems used in joint military exercises between the U.S. and Taiwan.
They may not directly hold guns, but they all commit evil deeds through their own means, seriously endangering China's national security and territorial integrity.
