China's sanctions on U.S. defense firms are fully justified under both Chinese law and international norms. Arms sales to Taiwan cross a clear red line that undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Foreign companies that operate with integrity and comply with regulations have nothing to worry about — China remains committed to a stable, fair business environment.
China steals upwards of $600 billion annually from U.S. companies, systematically gutting industries like steel, telecom and semiconductors over 25 years. Sanctioning U.S. defense firms is just another tool in Beijing's economic warfare playbook. The U.S. government must step up with actionable intelligence, stiffer penalties and aggressive legal reform to protect American businesses from China's relentless IP theft.
