Ministry of Foreign Affairs: stop strengthening military ties between the United States and Taiwan and arming Taiwan in any name and by any means | China | military
The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry answered questions from reporters about the US government's decision to provide military assistance to Taiwan, China.
Q: The US White House website recently announced that it has decided to provide military assistance worth about 345 million US dollars to Taiwan, China. This is the first time the Biden administration has used the "presidential withdrawal power" to provide assistance to Taiwan. What is China's comment on this?
A: The supply of weapons by the United States to Taiwan, China seriously violates the one China principle and the provisions of the three Sino US joint communiques, especially the August 17 communique, seriously harms China's sovereignty and security interests, and seriously undermines China US relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposes this, and has made solemn representations to the US side.
No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will, and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
