What are the US accusations and what kind of ban has been imposed?

The United States has filed charges against Pakistan and Chinese companies under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA). China’s Beijing Research Institute of Automation of the Machinery Industry (RIAMB) is accused of being responsible for the development, technical testing and technology distribution of Shaheen-3 and Ababil.

Pakistan’s National Development Complex (NDC) is reportedly working closely with RIAMB. It is procuring rocket engine testing equipment from China. This will allow it to manufacture more and more missiles. In addition to this, the United States has also imposed sanctions on China’s Hubei Huachang Intelligent Equipment and Global Enterprises. This ban was imposed to ensure that China and Pakistan do not violate international laws regarding ballistic missiles.
