Why it matters
For a major defense contractor like Raytheon, losing access to the Chinese government procurement market represents a significant loss of a major sales base. This market access loss is compounded by the fact that the controls are part of a broader tit-for-tat economic pressure campaign between the two countries.
This action follows a month of heightened tensions between the U.S. and China, including the release of a new U.S. blacklist of 80 companies aiding the Chinese military. China justified its retaliatory measures by citing the need to safeguard national security.
