China's Commerce Ministry announced a ban on exports of dual-use items to seven European entities, citing their involvement in arms sales to Taiwan. The targeted firms, which include the German high-tech company Hensoldt, have been placed on China's export control list immediately. This move represents a rare case of Europe-targeted sanctions directly linked to the Taiwan issue. The action underscores Beijing's escalating efforts to punish foreign companies that support Taiwan's defense capabilities.
