China says will freeze out US companies that sell Taiwan arms

The China government and Chinese companies will cut business ties with United States firms selling arms to Taiwan, China's Foreign Ministry said yesterday, declining to give details of the sanctions in a move likely to worsen already poor ties with Washington.

China said on Friday it would sanction American companies selling weapons to Taiwan but did not elaborate.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said the arms sales were a violation of international law and harmed China's sovereignty and national security. On Sunday, the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily posted an article on its WeChat account identifying US companies that could be vulnerable to sanctions.

"Honeywell has no input into these agreements and has had no direct dealings with Taiwan. We are a component provider and do not decide where the products are used. We see no reason why Honeywell would be potentially sanctioned by the Chinese government."Ties between China and the United States are already strained over a trade war, which has seen them levy tariffs on each other's imports.
