US Weaponry Permeates Asia!

The other two are from AeroVironment. They are Wahid Nawabi, chairman, president and CEO of the company, and Kevin McDonnell, senior vice-president and CFO.

These executive’s movable and immovable properties, as well as other types of assets within China, will be frozen. All organizations and individuals within China are prohibited from engaging in transactions, cooperation and other activities with them.

Also, the five senior executives will be denied visas or entry into China, including Hong Kong and Macao. The countermeasures come less than a month after China sanctioned entities and senior executives of Lockheed Martin for the same reason.

China has on many occasions voiced its firm opposition to the U.S. selling arms to the Taiwan region, saying such moves are serious violations of the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques.

China: Five US Defense Industry Companies Sanctioned! (7.1.2024)

The countermeasures consist of freezing the properties of those companies in China, including their movable and immovable property, and prohibiting organizations and individuals in China from transactions and cooperation with them, the spokesperson said.

“I would like to stress that the Chinese government remains unwavering in our resolve to safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity and protect the lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies and citizens,” said the spokesperson.

China urges the United States to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, observe international law and the basic norms governing international relations, stop arming Taiwan, and stop targeting China with illegal unilateral sanctions, the spokesperson said, noting that “otherwise there will be strong and resolute response from China.”
