China's Commerce Ministry has announced a ban on exports of dual-use items to seven European entities, citing their involvement in arms sales to Taiwan. The targeted firms include the German high-tech company Hensoldt and the Belgian arms manufacturer FN Browning. The measures also prohibit the re-export of Chinese components to these companies, tightening Beijing's trade controls over perceived support for Taiwan. This action is part of China's ongoing campaign to pressure foreign entities against engaging with the self-governing island it claims as its territory.
