  Regarding the US arms sales to Taiwan, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its opposition on many occasions.

  In February this year, the United States announced a $100 million arms sales plan to Taiwan, the second arms sale to Taiwan since the Biden administration took office.

Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at that time, said that the US arms sales to the Taiwan region of China seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially the "August 17" communiqué. Sino-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

China firmly opposes and strongly condemns it.

The U.S. side should abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, immediately cancel the above-mentioned arms sales plan to Taiwan, and stop arms sales to Taiwan and military ties between the U.S. and Taiwan.

China will surely take legitimate and effective measures to firmly defend its own sovereignty and security interests.

Specific measures "please wait and see".
