China News Service, July 18 (Xinhua) In response to the US government's decision to sell weapons to Taiwan, China's Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said in response that the US's actions fully exposed its sinister intentions to arm Taiwan and "use Taiwan to control China."

We urge the US to give up its attempt to play the "Taiwan card" and stop playing with fire on Taiwan-related issues.

  Zhu Fenglian responded to this, saying that the United States has repeatedly sold weapons to China's Taiwan region, which is a serious violation of the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially the "August 17" communique, in order to condone support for "Taiwan independence". "It is a serious violation of the United States' commitment not to support "Taiwan independence".

The actions of the US fully exposed its sinister intention to arm Taiwan and "use Taiwan to control China".

We urge the US to give up its attempt to play the "Taiwan card" and stop playing with fire on Taiwan-related issues.

  Zhu Fenglian pointed out that the DPP authorities used the hard-earned money of the Taiwan compatriots to buy weapons in an attempt to "reject reunification by force", which will only further damage the interests of the Taiwan compatriots and push the Taiwan compatriots into the fire pit.
