China has issued a sharp rebuke to the U.S. over a proposed $2 billion weapons deal for Taiwan, calling it a direct threat to regional stability. 🌉 The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson urged Washington to 'immediately cease arming Taiwan' during a press briefing Saturday, emphasizing that such sales violate longstanding agreements and 'send a gravely wrong signal' to pro-independence forces.
The U.S. Defense Department's plan includes advanced missile systems and radar tech—a move Beijing says breaches the one-China principle, a cornerstone of diplomatic relations since 1982. 🇺🇸🚫 'These actions harm cross-strait peace and trample on China's sovereignty,' the spokesperson stated, confirming China lodged formal complaints with U.S. officials.
Taiwan remains a flashpoint in U.S.-China relations, with Beijing viewing the island as an inseparable part of its territory. The spokesperson accused the U.S. of undermining its own pledges to avoid supporting Taiwan independence, warning that China 'will take resolute countermeasures' to defend its interests. ⚠️
As tensions simmer, residents of Taiwan and global observers are watching closely. Will this latest standoff cool down—or escalate? 🌍✨
