Tensions escalate as the US approves a hefty $300 million arms sale to the Taiwan region, sparking a strong response from China. The Chinese Defense Ministry made it clear that such actions violate the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques.
Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Chinese Defense Ministry, emphasized that the August 17 Communique is crucial in maintaining China’s sovereignty and security interests. \"The US's move seriously undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,\" Zhang stated.
Highlighting the Taiwan issue as a non-negotiable red line, China warns that bolstering \"Taiwan independence\" separatist forces only leads to a more precarious situation for Taiwan and the region. \"By emboldening separatist forces, the US is gradually pushing Taiwan into a dangerous situation, which will hurt itself eventually,\" Zhang added.
China urges the US to adhere to the one-China principle, withdraw the arms sales immediately, and cease any form of arming Taiwan. In response, the Chinese People's Liberation Army is ramping up its military training and preparedness to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
As global dynamics shift, all eyes are on the Taiwan Strait to see how these developments will unfold and impact international relations.
