La Chine annonce son intention de rendre coup sur coup face aux sanctions étasuniennes

Les récentes sanctions prises par Pékin contre Skydio, le plus grand fabricant de drones américain, soulignent la nécessité de bien comprendre l’interdépendance entre les économies chinoise et étasunienne, ainsi que des failles fondamentales de la stratégie de Washington envers la Chine. La réponse rapide de Pékin aux ventes d’armes américaines à Taiwan a profondément affecté la chaîne…

In just one year, the U.S. has spent at least $22.76 billion on military aid to Israel and related U.S. operations in the region (through September 30).[2] This was true, even before the U.S. expanded its presence in the region in late September/ early October 2024 in events too recent to be included in this report.

Figure 2, below, displays a list of U.S. arms deliveries to Israel, October 7, 2023 to September 2024. Note: This list is incomplete, drawn from news reports. Neither the Pentagon nor the State Department have provided comprehensive lists of items delivered, as they have done with respect to arms transfers to Ukraine.

Figure 2: U.S. Arms Deliveries to Israel, October 7, 2023 to September 2024[25] 4,127,000 kilograms JP-8 jet fuel 57,000 155mm artillery shells 36,000 rounds of 30mm cannon ammunition 20,000 M4A1 rifles 13,981 anti-tank missiles 8,700 (Mk82) 500-pound bombs 3,500 night vision devices 3,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions 14,100 (Mk84) 2,000 pound unguided bombs 3,000 laser-guided Hellfire missiles 1,800 (M141) bunker buster bombs 2,600 250-pound small diameter bombs 200 Switch Blade (Series 600) drones More than 100 Skydio X series drones 75 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV)

[The report's reference to Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) implies that these are separate weapons, which is probably wrong. JDAM is a GPS guidance kit that can be added to several types of free-fall bombs, like the Mk82 and Mk84, to turn them into guided weapons; the small diameter bomb already has such a guidance package. In any case, 14,100 is a terrifying number of Mk84 bombs, since each is capable of destroying much of a city block. Detonated all at once, they would be as powerful as one of the biggest nuclear bombs ever fielded by the United States during the Cold War.]

The Wondersome Effects Of Weapon Sales And Sanctions

In a world where everything is interconnected - economics, industrial production and global political competition - it becomes exceedingly difficult to use foreign policy instruments like weapon sales to proxies or sanctions. There will nearly always be some unforeseen backlash coming in an unexpected area that will hurt.

The European sanction policies against Russia may be the prime example for this. But hostile U.S. policies towards China may, over time, cause much more damage. Not to China but the U.S. and its desired policy aims themselves.

China slaps sanctions on 3 US firms, 10 senior execs over weapons sales to Taiwan - Reuters, Oct 10 2024

> BEIJING, Oct 10 (Reuters) - China's foreign ministry on Thursday announced it had imposed sanctions on three U.S. military-linked firms and 10 senior excecutives over U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan.

The steps taken against the firms, including Edge Autonomy Operations LLC, Huntingdon Ingalls Industries Inc and Skydio Inc, became effective on Thursday and will freeze any property within China, the foreign ministry said in a statement. <

Chinese sanctions against U.S. companies leave Ukrainian military drone supplier without batteries - Meduza, Oct 31 2024

> Chinese sanctions on Skydio, the U.S.’s largest drone maker and a supplier to Ukraine’s military, have blocked the American company’s sole battery supplier, reports The Financial Times. <

Given that war mongering, sanctions and other trade hindrances are now hitting back at the West one can expect that these will, after a while, lose their attractiveness as instruments of western foreign policies.

US drone maker for Ukraine cannot operate due to Chinese sanctions

China imposed sanctions against Skydio, the largest US drone manufacturer and supplier to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), blocking the only battery supplier to the US company, The Financial Times reported.

China’s sanctions, imposed on October 11, hit several US groups, including privately held Skydio, in retaliation for Washington’s approval of the sale of attack drones to Taiwan.

As a result, Skydio is forced to look for other suppliers on short notice, with its representatives appealing to US President Joe Biden for help. Skydio CEO Adam Bry called the move an attempt by China to increase the world’s dependence on Chinese drone suppliers.

In response, the US imposed sanctions against two drone suppliers from China and their alleged Russian partners, penalising Chinese companies for supplying complete weapons systems to Russia for the first time, according to CNN.

Washington has long accused China of alleged supporting Russia’s military efforts by supplying dual-use goods and components that can be used in weapons production. Beijing, however, denies the accusations. On Thursday, the US Treasury Department again charged Chinese firms with direct involvement in supplying arms to Moscow.

While the United States previously imposed sanctions on (Chinese) entities providing critical inputs to Russia’s military-industrial base, these are the first U.S. sanctions imposed on (Chinese) entities directly developing and producing complete weapons systems in partnership with Russian firms.

The US accused Xiamen Limbach Aircraft Engine Co. based in the coastal city of Xiamen of producing engines for Russian drones. Officials also blamed Redlepus Vector Industry Shenzhen Co. for collaborating with a Russian defence firm to facilitate the delivery of drones to Russia.

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller declared:

We have seen for some time Chinese companies providing components to Russian companies that Russian companies then use to turn into machinery, weapons, other components that Russia could use in its war.
