China News Service, December 30 (Xinhua) Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to inquiries on the 30th that she urged the United States to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, implement its commitment not to support "Taiwan independence" and stop selling Taiwan. Weapons and US-Taiwan military ties, handle the Taiwan issue with caution.
A reporter asked: According to media reports, relevant departments of the US government have recently decided to sell arms sales items worth about US$180 million to the Taiwan region of China.
Any comments on this?
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian said that we are firmly opposed to the sale of arms by the United States to the Taiwan region of China.
The US arms sales have seriously violated the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially the provisions of the "August 17" communiqué.
We urge the U.S. to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, implement its commitment not to support "Taiwan independence," stop arms sales to Taiwan and U.S.-Taiwan military ties, and prudently handle the Taiwan issue.
Zhu Fenglian said that the DPP authorities are being warned that their attempts to "reject reunification with force" and to collude with external forces to seek "independence" provocations are doomed to fail.
