The ministry said that their properties in China, both movable and immovable, would be seized with immediate effect. Additionally, Chinese people and entities have been prohibited from transacting with the firms.

This comes after the US State Department on Monday approved a possible foreign military sale of spare parts valued at about $228M to Taiwan's military.

Beijing said the "resolute countermeasures" had been taken after Washington "seriously infringed upon China's sovereignty and security interests, and damaged China-US relations."

The Chinese foreign ministry added that Washington's arms sales to Taipei "seriously violated the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques," and asked the US to "stop conniving and supporting Taiwan independence."
