Q: The Chinese side activated the "list of unreliable entities" to impose sanctions on three companies involved in arms sales to Taiwan, please consider what?

A: In recent years, three companies such as Saronik Science and Technology Company, Elcon Company, International Maritime Engineering Company and others, despite China's strong opposition, have carried out so-called military-tech cooperation with Taiwan, seriously damaging China's sovereignty, security and development interests.The Chinese side is pursuing its legal responsibilities in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Foreign Trade, the Law of the People's Republic of China on National Security, the Law of the People's Republic of China on Anti-Foreign Sanctions, and other laws, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the Unreliable Entity List.

The Chinese side has consistently carefully handled the issue of the list of unreliable entities, targeting only a very small number of foreign entities that endanger our national security in accordance with the law, and the Chinese government as always welcomes enterprises from all parts of the world to invest in China, and is committed to providing a stable, fair and predictable business environment for foreign-owned enterprises that comply with the law.
