Mainland (China) urges US to stop arms sales to Taiwan- China.org.cn

A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Thursday expressed his country's strong opposition to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and urged the United States to stop such actions.



Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the statement in response to an Aug. 4 announcement from the United States about an arms deal to Taiwan worth of 750 million U.S. dollars.

"We urge the United States to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint communiques, particularly the August 17 Communique," Ma said.

Ma urged the U.S. side not to send wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces, nor to undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

Meanwhile, he warned that the attempts by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authority to seek independence with U.S. support and employ military means to resist reunification will only bring disaster to the Taiwan people.

  1. Beijing has vowed to retaliate after the US State Department gave the greenlight to a $750 million arms sale to Taiwan – President Joe Biden’s first to the island – arguing the deal damaged bilateral ties and Chinese sovereignty.

    The Chinese Foreign Ministry condemned the proposed sale on Thursday, insisting that Taiwan is an “inalienable” part of the country’s territory while condemning Washington for emboldening Taiwanese separatist factions and threatening “peace and stability” in the region.

    “China will resolutely take legitimate and necessary counter-measures in light of the development of the situation,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that the weapons sale “runs counter to international law and basic principles in international relations.”
