September 18, Fineko/abc.az. China has decided to impose sanctions against the Lockheed Martin branch in St. Louis and Northrop Grumman because of their arms supplies to Taiwan, ABC.AZ reports, quoting the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

"On August 24, the branch of American company Lockheed Martin in St. Louis, Missouri, as the main contractor, directly participated in the supply of American weapons to Taiwan, and Northrop Grumman has repeatedly participated in the supply of weapons to Taiwan. China has decided to impose sanctions on the two aforementioned American military-industrial companies," the representative said.

He stressed that the Chinese Government's determination to protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity is unshakable. Washington is "moving further and further along the erroneous and dangerous path of arming Taiwan". The Chinese Foreign Ministry called on the United States to fully comply with the "one China" principle.
