China's defense ministry has issued a fiery warning against U.S. military cooperation with the Taiwan region, calling it a dangerous game that could 'drag the island into war flames.' 🔥 The comments come amid reports of American lawmakers approving $500 million in military aid for Taiwan and inviting its representatives to observe joint air exercises.
Defense spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang didn't hold back during Thursday's press briefing: 'Whether it's weapons sales or military drills, these actions violate the one-China principle and fuel dangerous separatist fantasies.' 🚫 The remarks highlight growing tensions as U.S. lawmakers recently greenlit the 2026 Defense Appropriations Act with Taiwan-specific funding.
But here's the tea ☕: China views Taiwan as an inseparable part of its territory and insists cross-strait issues should be resolved peacefully. 'Selling weapons to Taiwan is like handing matches to a toddler,' Zhang warned, urging Washington to stop sending 'wrong signals' to pro-independence forces.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities also received a reality check: 'No amount of foreign military toys will change Taiwan's status as part of China,' the spokesperson emphasized. With both sides digging in, this geopolitical drama could reshape Asia's security landscape 🌏⚖️.
