China confirms sanctions against U.S. suppliers of arms to Taiwan | Top Russian news and analysis online | ‘RIA Novosti’ newswire: “China confirmed on Tuesday its decision to impose sanctions against U.S. suppliers of arms to Taiwan.
Beijing warned Washington last weekend that its $6.3-billion deal to sell arms to Taiwan could impair bilateral relations already marred by Chinese cyber attacks on Google and China’s pressuring for a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear problem.
‘We strongly urge relevant U.S. companies to stop pushing forward and taking part in the arms sales to Taiwan,’ Ma Zhaoxu, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, said.”
