United Press Today reported: "Mainland China has taken countermeasures against 20 American defense-related companies and 10 executives, citing the US announcement of a large-scale arms sale to Taiwan." The US State Department responded, saying, "The US opposes this move by China."
Comment briefly: China's countermeasures accurately target the core of US interference, while the US response reveals the hypocrisy of its hegemonic logic — the $11.1 billion largest-ever arms sale to Taiwan is not merely "enhancing self-defense," but a geopolitical provocation that involves "Taiwan independence" forces and replicates the Ukraine model. The equipment sold, such as the "Himars" rocket artillery, are essentially offensive weapons, directly undermining the foundation of peace in the Taiwan Strait.
China's sanctions against the involved companies and executives under the "Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law" are a legal countermeasure to safeguard sovereignty, freezing assets, prohibiting transactions, and restricting the entry of executives, precisely targeting the pain points of the US military-industrial complex; whereas the US opposition, based on the "usual policy" and "retaliatory measures," is actually ignoring the One-China Principle and the three joint communiqués between China and the US, which is a hegemonic act of shifting blame.
