🇨🇳 China has issued a sharp warning to the United States following its approval of an $11 billion arms package for the Taiwan region, calling it a 'dangerous act' that threatens regional stability. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun condemned the move during a press briefing on Thursday, December 18, 2025, stating it violates longstanding agreements and fuels tensions across the Taiwan Strait.
🔥 'The U.S. is playing with fire,' Guo said, emphasizing that the sale of advanced weapons undermines China's sovereignty and sends a 'gravely erroneous signal' to pro-independence groups in Taiwan. The Chinese mainland has consistently opposed foreign military support for the region, which it views as part of its territory.
🌍 Analysts warn the deal could escalate U.S.-China friction at a time when global markets are already shaky. 'This isn’t just about geopolitics—it’s like tossing a grenade into a room full of fireworks,' said one Taipei-based researcher, speaking anonymously. 'Everyone’s watching to see if this sparks a larger crisis.'
✊ Beijing reiterated its commitment to 'peaceful reunification' but warned it will take 'resolute measures' to defend its interests. Meanwhile, social media in the Chinese mainland has erupted with hashtags like #HandsOffTaiwan, reflecting public outrage.
