BEIJING China imposed countermeasures on Lockheed Martin's relevant entities and senior executives on Friday over the US's arms sales to Taiwan, a foreign ministry statement showed.

China will freeze movable, immovable and other kinds of property of Lockheed Martin's senior executives including its chairman James Donald Taiclet, and will bar them from entering the country.

China has applied sanctions on US companies including Lockheed before for selling arms to democratically governed Taiwan, which Beijing claims as part of its territory.
