China Stops Selling Goods to Seven European Companies

Introduction

Main Body

China put seven companies on a bad list. These companies are from Germany, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. China will stop selling them 'dual-use' items. These are things that people use for normal work and for war, like drone parts. China and the European Union are having problems. The EU also stopped some Chinese companies from working. Now, both sides are angry and using rules to punish each other. Some companies in Europe are checking the news. They say they do not buy these parts from China. Taiwan says it is okay. Taiwan can buy weapons from other countries.

Conclusion

China punished European companies to stop them from helping Taiwan. Taiwan says it can still find the weapons it needs.
