China\u2019s Ministry of National Defense has issued a fiery rebuke against the U.S. for approving a $385 million arms sale to the Taiwan region, calling the move a \u201cserious violation\u201d of diplomatic agreements. Defense spokesperson Wu Qian warned the deal undermines cross-strait peace and \u201cfeeds dangerous illusions of independence.\u201d
\u201cThe U.S. claims to promote stability, but its actions are like pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire,\u201d Wu stated during a press briefing Monday. He emphasized that Taiwan is the \u201cred line\u201d in China-U.S. relations, urging Washington to stop \u201carming Taiwan through backdoor deals.\u201d 🌟
The spokesperson also criticized Taiwan\u2019s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities for \u201cbetraying residents\u2019 safety\u201d by seeking foreign military support. \u201cRelying on external forces will only lead to a dead end,\u201d he added, vowing intensified military readiness by the Chinese People\u2019s Liberation Army.
With tensions escalating, analysts worry this clash could further strain U.S.-China ties. As Wu put it: \u201cPeace isn\u2019t built on weapons sales.\u201d 🇨🇳⚔️🇺🇸
