China objects to American military assistance for Taiwan and often imposes sanctions on related companies after a sale or aid package is announced.

U.S. President Joe Biden last week authorized up to $571 million in Defense Department material and services for Taiwan .

The sanctions generally have a limited impact, because American defense companies don't sell arms or other military goods to China .
