China has decided to take countermeasures against seven U.S. defense enterprises and their senior executives.

This article is reprinted from: Huawei Browser CCTV News December 27, 2024, 3:03 PM — Official CCTV News Account Recently, the United States once again announced a large-scale arms aid package and weapons sale to China’s Taiwan region. The U.S. “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025” contains multiple negative provisions concerning China, seriously violating the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. Joint Communiqués, grossly interfering in China’s internal affairs, and severely undermining China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Pursuant to Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 15 of the People’s Republic of China Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, China has decided to impose the following countermeasures against the seven enterprises listed in the attached “Countermeasure List”—Insteel Company, Hudson Technologies Inc., Saronic Technologies Inc., Raytheon Canada Ltd., Raytheon Australia Pty Ltd., Alcon Inc., and International Marine Engineering Co.—and their relevant senior executives: • First, freezing all movable property, immovable property, and other types of assets owned by them within China’s territory; • Second, prohibiting organizations and individuals within China’s territory from engaging in any transactions, cooperation, or related activities with them.

Wolf-like mentality: Doing business and making big money requires first securing a particular type of customer!

To maximize the elimination of horse herds and capture more food, wolf packs focus their attacks on the lead stallion—‘er mazi.’ Despite the high risk of being kicked, injured, or even killed by the lead stallion, the wolves launch fierce, coordinated group charges. Though several wolves inevitably perish in the assault, the lead stallion’s defensive line ultimately collapses. Chaos erupts across the entire herd, allowing the wolves to seize the opportunity and launch a massive slaughter. As the saying goes, “Capture the bandit chief first.” Likewise, in business—if you want to earn substantial profits—you must learn from wolves and prioritize securing one particular type of customer: the major client who can deliver enormous value! Once such a key client is secured, winning over other clients becomes significantly easier—and generating profit follows naturally. Consider this classic business case: Most people are familiar with Masayoshi Son—the most important patron of Jack Ma and one of Japan’s most renowned ultra-wealthy entrepreneurs. When Son founded SoftBank and resolved to enter the software wholesale business, he was still an unknown figure; no software company was willing to appoint him as its distributor. Son reasoned that to break into the market swiftly, he needed to “capture the bandit chief first”—i.e., proactively contact and secure Japan’s largest software company, Hudson Soft, thereby winning over this mega-client. In October 1981, at an electronics trade fair held in Osaka, Son spent $200,000—his entire available capital—to rent the largest exhibition hall located nearest to the exit, inviting major software companies to attend. After the fair concluded, he approached Mr. Hiroshi Kudo, President of Hudson Soft, and formally requested appointment as the company’s exclusive national distributor. Through this exhibition, Kudo witnessed Son’s determination and recognized the young man’s drive—but still imposed an extremely stringent condition: Son had to deposit 30 million yen upfront with Hudson Soft, both as proof of sincerity and demonstration of SoftBank’s financial capability. For Son at that time, 30 million yen represented his total personal wealth—an enormous, all-or-nothing gamble. Yet he believed the risk was justified if it meant securing Hudson Soft as his flagship client. He immediately accepted the condition and signed the contract. Thus, SoftBank successfully secured Hudson Soft—and rapidly became Japan’s largest software wholesaler. Upon hearing the news, numerous other domestic and international clients rushed to join, firmly establishing Son’s leadership position in Japan’s software distribution industry. “Capture the bandit chief first”: In business, prioritizing and securing your largest, most influential client enables others to follow suit effortlessly—yielding tremendous returns. Son’s story stands as the quintessential illustration of this principle.
