In a significant escalation of tensions between the United States and China, Beijing has imposed sanctions on 13 American companies in direct response to the U.S. approving arms sales to Taiwan. The U.S. recently authorized two defense packages totaling $385 million, which include critical components for F-16 fighter jets and communication support systems. This move has been interpreted by China as a provocative act, threatening its sovereignty over Taiwan.
