The US has taken decisive action against four Chinese entities, one Pakistani company, and a Chinese individual for their involvement in Pakistan's ballistic missile program, according to a State Department statement.

State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller announced sanctions against the Beijing Research Institute of Automation for Machine Building Industry (RIAMB) for collaborating with Pakistan's National Development Complex (NDC) under the Arms Export Control Act and the Export Control Reform Act.
