China slaps Lockheed Martin with sanctions over arms sale to Taiwan — Chinese Foreign Ministry

China has imposed sanctions against the US military-industrial company Lockheed Martin over the sale of weapons to Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday. The sanctions are against Lockheed Martin Missile System Integration Lab, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories, and Lockheed Martin Ventures.

This is due to the fact that the US recently "re-announced the sale of weapons to the Taiwan region of China," which seriously violates the principle of "one China."
