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

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said the arms sales were a violation of international law and harmed China's sovereignty and national security."China's government and Chinese companies will not cooperate or have commercial contacts with these US companies," he told a daily news briefing.

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. This is not the first time China has said it would sanction US companies selling weapons to Taiwan. China has announced such steps at least twice before - in 2010 and 2015 - but it is unclear if the sanctions were ever imposed.
