2025
Chinese export-control listing
China’s Ministry of Commerce placed GA-ASI on an export-control list in March 2025, restricting the export of dual-use commodities to the company. The listing further affected the company’s ability to conduct certain commercial interactions involving Chinese-controlled goods or technologies.
2024
Chinese sanctions over Taiwan-related arms sales
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced sanctions against GA-ASI in April 2024, identifying the company’s arms sales to Taiwan as the basis for the action. The measure is a geopolitical and regulatory dispute connected with the company’s defense exports rather than a finding of corporate misconduct by a court.
