China Voices Strong Opposition to US Arms Sales to Taiwan Region

In a firm stance, a spokesperson from the Chinese mainland's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office condemned the recent U.S. decision to sell arms to the Taiwan region. Zhu Fenglian emphasized that separatist activities aiming for \"Taiwan independence\" and external interventions will not deter China's commitment to resolving the Taiwan question and achieving national reunification.

Zhu responded to media inquiries regarding the new arms sales plan, stating, \"We firmly oppose U.S. arms sales to China's Taiwan region, which has been our consistent and clear stance.\" She urged the United States to uphold the one-China principle and adhere to the three China-U.S. Joint Communiques, particularly the August 17 Communique of 1982.

The spokesperson called on the U.S. to cease arming Taiwan and to stop sending the wrong signals to forces advocating for \"Taiwan independence.\" This move underscores China's dedication to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait while addressing its long-term national goals.
