Summary
China has imposed an export ban on dual-use products to 28 U.S. defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, and General Dynamics, in retaliation for U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
Ten firms were barred from trade and investments in China.
Beijing condemned the arms sales, citing violations of the One China principle and threats to Taiwan Strait stability.
The ban follows Taiwan’s recent receipt of advanced U.S. military equipment, including Abrams tanks, as the island bolsters its defenses against China’s military activities.
I will never not laugh at BRICStards. BRICS is and always will be a joke. It’s a fabrication by Goldman Sachs that needy despots latched onto and are trying to manifest into reality because they’re jealous of not being part of NATO.
It’s not really a NATO “common defense” analogue and more of a G7-style economic partnership among countries not in the G7.

NATO has nothing to do with brics. Given you have no idea how Chinas economy works I guess I shouldn’t have expected you to know the difference between economic and military pacts.
Over half the world’s GDP and population are a part of brics btw.
NATO is not only military. It never has been. It’s ideological.
