Analysts defend China government's sanctioning of U.S. companies selling arms to Taiwan
BEIJING, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chinese analysts justified the government's decision to sanction U.S. companies involved in a 6.4- billion-dollar arms sale package to Taiwan, saying the punishment is the "right thing to do" for China's core interests.

"This decision to sanction the companies involved is an unprecedented response by China to U.S. arms sale to Taiwan," said Tao.
"The U.S. sanctions other country's companies . China also has the right to punish foreign companies that infringe on China's core interests," he said. "The Taiwan issue is one of China's top concerns," he said.

"China should cause losses for those arms-selling companies much heavier than the profit they will gain from the weapon sales," Yang said.
Sino-U.S. ties should be maintained by both sides, but China should not take a backward step on issues touching its core interests, he added.
