Taiwan has dismissed the potential impact of new sanctions imposed by China against seven European companies involved in arms sales to the island. Defense Minister Wellington Koo addressed the situation on Monday, noting that Beijing's decision to blacklist these firms would not compromise the territory's defense procurement strategies.
