the Chinese government has decided to take countermeasures in response to the actions of the American military-industrial companies, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies. The two companies had been involved in supplying Taiwan “with American weapons for a long time,’’ Wang told a briefing. China has called on the U.S. to stop selling arms to Taiwan and follow all the agreements concluded by Beijing and Washington, Wang added. According to him, China will take all necessary measures to protect its security and sovereignty.
