The US Department of State imposed sanctions on four entities, including three Chinese firms and one Belarus-based company, for aiding Pakistan's ballistic missile program. The targeted companies are Xi'an Longde Technology Development Company Limited, Tianjin Creative Source International Trade Co Ltd, Granpect Company Limited, and Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant. They provided missile-related items to Pakistan, with Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant supplying vehicle chassis to Pakistan's National Development Complex for its ballistic missiles. Granpect Company Limited contributed equipment for Pakistan's long-range ballistic missile program, including a filament winding machine likely destined for the National Development Complex.
