🔥China Threatens to Sanction Lockheed Martin Over Taiwan Arms Deal
中國揚言制裁洛克希德馬丁公司對台軍售
-sanction: 制裁
-arms: 武器
🧐China said it plans to sanction Lockheed Martin Corp. over its role in a $620 million U.S. arms package for Taiwan, Beijing’s latest retaliatory gesture amid growing pressure from Washington.
中國揚言制裁對台軍售美商洛克希德馬丁公司，此次軍售總額為6.2億美元。面對華府日益高漲的壓力，這是中方最新反制舉措。
-retaliatory: 報復的
-amid: 在…之中，意思同 in the middle of
💦Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian announced the move as a response to the Trump administration’s decision last week to approve an upgrade package for Taiwan’s Patriot surface-to-air missiles.
中國外交部發言人趙立堅說，此舉是為了回應川普政府上週批准售台愛國者三型飛彈延壽案。
-Foreign Ministry: 外交部
-spokesman, spokeswoman, spokesperson: 發言人
⚠ “China firmly opposes U.S. arms sales to Taiwan,” Mr. Zhao said at a news briefing Tuesday. “In order to safeguard national interests, China has decided to undertake necessary measures and impose sanctions on the main contractor for this sale, Lockheed Martin.”
「中國嚴正反對美國對台軍售，」趙立堅在週二的記者會表示。「為了捍衛國家利益，中國決定採取必要手段，對主要承包商洛克希德馬丁公司進行制裁。」
-news briefing 記者會、新聞發布會
-safeguard 捍衛
-undertake 採取
🌊The sanctions are expected to have limited impact since U.S. defense companies are broadly barred from making military sales to China, though Lockheed Martin has sold civilian helicopters to Chinese buyers through its Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. unit.
儘管洛克希德馬丁透過旗下塞考斯基飛機公司向中國買家售出民用直升機，不過此前美國軍火商被禁止對中國出售軍事武器，外界預估此次中方制裁影響有限。
-be barred from sth: 被禁止從事
-civilian: 民用的
-(business) unit: 事業單位
