China strongly opposes US arms sales to Taiwan
(VOVWORLD) -China will take all necessary measures to protect its national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Tan Kefei, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, said in a written statement on Thursday.
Tan voiced strong opposition to the US sale of weapons to Taiwan and said the US action has gravely violated the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, severely jeopardized China's sovereignty and security interests, and seriously undermined the relations between the two countries and two militaries as well as peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits.
On December 6, the US government approved two arms sales worth 430 million USD to Taiwan.
