China News Service, Beijing, March 14 (Reporter Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on March 14.
A reporter asked: According to reports, Taiwan recently signed an arms purchase contract with the United States to purchase "field information and communication systems" from the United States with a total of NT$6.99 billion. This is the follow-up to the US arms sales plan to Taiwan in December 2020. .
What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian: The US arms sales to Taiwan seriously violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially the August 17 communiqué.
China has always been firmly opposed to it.
The US should earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, and stop arms sales to Taiwan and military ties between the US and Taiwan.
