China has added Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) to its unreliable entities list, citing arms sales to Taiwan and escalating U.S.-China trade tensions.
China accuses SNC of undermining its sovereignty through military ties with Taiwan.SNC now faces bans on trade, investment, and licensing in China.
China also blacklisted Shield AI, Cyberlux, Edge Autonomy, Group W, and Hudson Tech in retaliation for U.S. tariffs and Taiwan-related sanctions.
Ties to Turkish Politics
SNC is owned by Turkish-American entrepreneurs Fatih and Eren Ozmen.
Former Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu proposed to transform Atatürk Airport into an aviation and space hub with SNC before.
Turkish President Erdogan criticized the plan as “mandacılık” (servitude to foreign powers), arguing it undermines local defense firms.
Past allegations about SNC, including CIA links and fraud claims in the U.S., have intensified scrutiny of the company’s role.

American economist Jeffrey Sachs: (at Antalya Diplomacy Forum)
We will never have peace in this region if outside imperial powers like the US are dictating the terms.
Israel could never do these wars on its own, these are American wars. America provides the financing, the military backup and everything else.
Israel could not fight for one day without US backing.
Israel could not be committing a genocide in Gaza without full US operational complicity.
We have a genocide going on in Gaza because the US is providing the means for this.

American economist Jeffrey Sachs: (at Antalya Diplomacy Forum)
This region (Middle East) has been manipulated by Britain, France and the U.S. for 100 years since the Treaty of Versailles.
It will not have safety or peace until the U.S. is out of this region. If you think your big friend U.S. is gonna do your bidding and help you get your way.
Empires divide to rule. They’re not doing the bidding of Syria, Türkiye… You are calling the U.S. to balance Iran… This is gonna work out well? It’s not gonna work out well.
You don’t need the U.S. to pull the chestnuts out of the fire.
There’s not international community. We’re trying to make one. That’s the tragedy in this world. There’s no community.

NATO’s greatest enemy is NATO itself.
All the efforts of the Euro-Atlantic community are focused on preparing for a new war — with Germany, France, and Britain leading the way.
