China has issued a fiery response to the U.S. military budget plan for 2026, calling its $1 billion Taiwan security provision a dangerous provocation. 🔥 Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, declared Friday that Washington is 'playing with fire' by attempting to 'arm Taiwan' through its latest defense authorization act.
The move comes as tensions rise over U.S.-Taiwan relations, with Beijing emphasizing that Taiwan has been part of China since ancient times. 🌏 Chen warned the U.S. to immediately stop enforcing the Taiwan-related provisions, stating: 'No external force can stop the wheels of history from rolling toward national reunification.'
In a direct message to Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities, Chen added: 'Relying on foreign powers to seek independence is like trying to catch the moon from water – utterly futile.' 🌕💧 The spokesperson urged strict adherence to the one-China principle, calling cross-strait unity an 'unstoppable trend.'
