00:00Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council has blasted China's decision to blacklist eight Taiwanese
00:05entities, saying Beijing is weaponizing commerce. These entities are key players in Taiwan's
00:11aerospace, shipbuilding and defense sectors. China's Commerce Ministry has halted all exports
00:16to them, with Beijing's Taiwan Affairs Office accusing them of promoting secessionism.
00:21Experts in Taiwan say the move will not have much impact, as these entities have little
00:25connection to China. The Defense Ministry here is also weighed in, saying China's move actually
00:30aligns with Taiwan's goal of phasing out reliance on the so-called red supply chain.
