After Being Threatened With Chinese Sanctions, U.S. Defence Giant Honeywell Distances Itself From Taiwan


SCMP: US defence giant Honeywell distances itself from Taiwan under threat of China sanctions over arms deal

* Firm sees ‘no reason why’ it would be sanctioned by Beijing after being linked to the self-ruled island arms deal by Chinese state media
* People’s Daily and CCTV posted a WeChat article on Sunday also naming Oshkosh Corporation, General Dynamics and Gulfstream Aerospace as suppliers

After China’s state media named several US firms allegedly threatened by sanctions over arms sales to Taiwan, American aerospace and defence giant Honeywell has said it had “no input” into the agreement between Washington and Taipei.

Both People’s Daily and state broadcaster CCTV posted an article on their official WeChat channels on Sunday criticising Honeywell, Oshkosh Corporation, General Dynamics and its subsidiary Gulfstream Aerospace for their involvement in the sale of tanks and missiles to Taiwan.

“The US arms sale is ‘penny wise, pound-foolish’. They sell weapons to Taiwan but lose their market in China, and their non-military products will be boycotted in China too,” the article read.

Standard Oil is one of those waiting for FDR to be gone .

"We have Standard Oil shipping enemy fuel through Switzerland for the Nazi occupation forces in France"

Bob Huntley, who posts under an anonymous name, is wrong and as anti-American as always.

I am an American, and I want that SOB gone too! In spades!
But, the China problem is much broader and of many different issues. Trump or no Trump the Xi and PRC are a pox on free humans everywhere. And dear Mr. Putin is a pea from the same pod!
Mr. Bob Huntley apparently does not know how very precarious our freedoms have become. Otherwise he would not continuously broad stroke put down the US and the purpose and ideals it still stands for regardless of our wanna be dictator and enabling R Congressman and Senators. Slugs they all are!
Bob use some discretion in your dislike of all things American.

What makes Trump a SOB?

He's had sex with lots of women?

- Ted Kennedy was a glutton when it came to women.
- Bill Clinton was notorious womanizer and rapist.
- Senator Menendez (D) is discreet. He does to the Dominican Republic for his women/girls.
- The Bushes? They are pretty good. Barbara seems to have raised them right in that regard. However, George H.W. Bush supposedly had a mistress and the Democrats went there in 1988 and 1992. Then he started grabbing ass. That was a big, big disappointment.
- JFK was another notorious womanizer and he slept with a Mafia doll. He also slept with the help of age 17 or 18.
- LBJ? womanizer
- Obama swings both ways. His church is/was famous for it
- Al Gore? Mrs Gore divorces a successful politician worth $100 million just as he retire from public life? Cuz he was faithful? Or his pick up line suck? "Hey Baby let me show my 2nd Chakra."

SOB gone why?

"dumb goose step requirement the Trumpaneros want to require..."

You did not read the posts circa 2013 and the criticism of Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and now later Paul Ryan. Why should you? You were in the catbird seat having lied about Mitt's tax returns and giggling when he mentioned Russia.

Goose stepping in deed. In reality you were not paying attention.
