Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Tan Kefei, answers questions from reporters about US military sales to Taiwan regarding national sovereignty | US side | spokesperson
Tan Kefei: China firmly opposes the US selling weapons to Taiwan, China, and has made solemn representations to the US. The United States disregards China's core concerns, rudely interferes in China's internal affairs, and deliberately escalates tensions in the Taiwan Strait, which is tantamount to accelerating the turning of Taiwan into a "powder keg" and pushing the Taiwanese people into the abyss of disaster.
Both the US's use of Taiwan to contain China and the Democratic Progressive Party's use of military force to seek independence are wishful thinking and destined to fail. The People's Liberation Army of China has always maintained a high level of vigilance, resolutely defended national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and firmly maintained peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
