Taiwan’s Liberty Times Network (LTN) reported that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on September 25 that, citing national security concerns and obligations such as non-proliferation, it has placed three U.S. companies – Huntington Ingalls Industries, Planate Management Group, and Global Dimensions LLC – on its export control list, prohibiting the export of dual-use (civilian and military) items to them.
The Ministry also added Saronic Technologies, Aerkomm, and Oceaneering International to its “unreliable entities” list, barring them from import and export activities with China and from making new investments in the country.
According to the announcement, these firms “ignored China’s strong opposition,” and engaged in arms sales and military technology cooperation with Taiwan, “seriously undermining China’s sovereignty, security, and development interests.”
Huntington Ingalls Industries is the largest military shipbuilder in the U.S. Saronic Technologies develops maritime drones for defense use, while Global Dimensions, which has a branch in Taiwan, has reportedly been in discussions with Taipei about a military training program.
