China vows revenge over Taiwan deal
China has threatened to impose sanctions against the U.S.

China has threatened to impose sanctions against the U.S. companies whose equipment forms part of a controversial new arms package for Taiwan that was announced last Friday. They include Boeing and Sikorsky, who enjoy brisk sales
