For the first time, China has threatened to sanction U.S. arms manufacturers linked to a $6.4 billion defense deal for Taiwan. The response signals a new level of tension in the complex web of Sino-U.S. relations, analyst Matt Gertken says.

  • Maybe the Chinese can stop supplying weapons to the middle East.

  • good sanction them, we should not be in debt to fish people anyway. I won't by anything made in china, not even clothing, tell sears, penneys, marshalls, even the 99 cent store not to stock their products anymore. Buy American..

  • I don't believe the US has any problem with China acquiring Taiwan as they have agreed as such in the past. Although it is how China is going about doing that which is the question. China even believes Okinawa is theirs as well. How many more territories or countries is China going to Claim as it's own.  All China has to do is quit pointing so many missiles at Taiwan and resume talks with Taiwan for a eventual peaceful reintegration.

  • @darwincollins

    this is called playing a double game

  • what's next? Default on the loans owed to China? lol

    US/China friendship is kind of like a smiling assassin...cant be trusted.

  • Though it's an act of war, but that's just a leverage strategies of the US-China relationship...US has no access to Iranian oil so does not have anything to do with detering the China Govt, but on arm sales that's call for a big concern to the Communist party. Whether this will turn to be an act of transgression...we 'll see

  • ww3?

  • Taiwan is a provance of China. They broke away from China but China does not except there indepedence. China has since threaten to invade Taiwan to secure the island but the United States has threaten China that we would protect Taiwan. That's basicaly what I understand of it.
