Ford Ignores Tiananmen Sanctions of 1990

China is about to celebrate its 60th anniversary with a huge parade in Beijing. Among the millions of dollars in military and security hardware on display will be armored Ford vans.

After the Tiananmen Massacre, the U.S. passed the Tiananmen Sanctions, which prohibits the export of "any crime control or detection instruments or equipment" to China. So how the hell did Ford get away with selling these vans to China?
