China imposes sanctions on manufacturer of American F-22, F-35 and Patriot

China became the first country in the world to impose sanctions on the purchase of American weapons.

Chinese authorities have announced the imposition of major sanctions against the American corporation Lockheed Martin because it sold Taiwan Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to counter China. Given the fact that the American corporation is actively using some elements of electronics manufactured in China, Lockheed Martin products can significantly increase their price.

“China is strongly opposed to a possible US sale of weapons to Taiwan. China has decided to take action, we will impose sanctions on the main participant in this arms sale deal - Lockheed Martin, - quotes the words of a Chinese diplomat, the Russian information publication TsarGrad.

It is not known how much the sanctions can hit the American corporation, however, this means that Lockheed Martin will not be able to supply its products to the PRC or through the territory of this country. At the same time, it is not excluded that any attempt to deliver American weapons to Taiwan will result in China's attempts to prevent this.

Washington has not yet responded to the sanctions imposed by the PRC, however, this may serve as a new round in the complication of relations between the two countries, especially against the background of provocative US actions.

Hiccups fell on Lockheed ... They remember.
