Q: According to reports, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency of the US Department of Defense announced on April 5 that the US has approved the sale of military technology and related equipment totaling US$95 million to Taiwan to provide personnel and technical assistance for Taiwan's Patriot air defense missile system.
Any comments on this please?
A: The US arms sales to China's Taiwan region seriously violated the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially the "August 17" communique, grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, seriously damaged China's sovereignty and security interests, and seriously undermined China and the US The relationship between the two countries and the two militaries and the peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are firmly opposed to this, and China has lodged solemn representations with the US side.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory.
The Taiwan issue concerns China's core interests, and no foreign interference is allowed.
The Chinese side urges the US side to abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, immediately withdraw the above-mentioned arms sales plan to Taiwan, and stop the US-Taiwan military ties, so as to avoid further damage to the relationship between the two countries and the two militaries.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army will take effective measures to resolutely thwart any form of external interference and "Taiwan independence" separatist attempts, and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
