The U.S. State Department issued a notice on Jan. 21 to sanction three Chinese entities for engaging in missile technology proliferation activities based on the Arms Export Control Act and the Export Administration Act of 1979.

For two years, these entities are denied of all new transfer licenses and U.S government contracts, and are not allowed to export their products into the United States.
