Taiwan has dismissed sanctions imposed by China on European arms manufacturers as insignificant.
The country's defense minister, Wellington Koo, said the measures would not seriously affect Taipei's defense capabilities.
It was reported that Beijing had imposed restrictions on European companies that supplied arms to the island.
In particular, China's Ministry of Commerce has banned exports of dual-use goods to these companies.
It was noted that four of the seven sanctioned companies are based in the Czech Republic.
According to the minister, China has used such measures before, and Taiwan will continue to purchase weapons through various sources.
For information, Taiwan mainly buys military equipment from the United States, but in recent years cooperation with Central and Eastern European countries has also been expanding.
