NO, there is some commercial aviation sales, that it.

China is tick tocked because of this:

Sales to Taiwan

11 Lockheed High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), for an estimated cost of $436.1 million

135 Boeing AGM-84H Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) Missiles for an estimated $1.01 billion.

Six Collins Aerospace MS-110 Recce external sensor pods, for an estimated cost of $367.2 million. Collins is a division of Raytheon.

*****The package may have spurred extra hostility from China because the HIMARS reportedly will include the M57 missile, which can hit targets up to 190 miles away.**** That’s enough to reach the east coast of China that’s directly opposite Taiwan, according to Defense News.

More weapon approvals for Taiwan are expected. Late Monday, the State Department notified Congress that it has approved a $2.37 billion sale for up to 100 Harpoon Coastal Defense Systems, which includes 400 Boeing RGM-84L-4 Harpoon Block II missiles.

Bottom line. Commercial aviation Is rife with tech. And our biggest defense contractors do all kinds of business with communist red China which is probably 15 times the Russian threat. The companies always employ large numbers of Chinese to win contracts and they are all high risks for technology spying.
