Reporter: The US recently announced large-scale arms sales to Taiwan. China later announced a decision to take countermeasures against 20 US military enterprises and 10 senior managers. The Chinese military is carrying out military exercises near Taiwan Island. What comments does the Embassy have on this? Embassy Spokesman: America's arms sales to Taiwan seriously violate the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, seriously damage China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, seriously damage the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, and send a serious wrong signal to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and the outside world. China is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed to this. The actions taken by the Chinese side are a severe punishment for “Taiwan independence” separatist forces “seeking independence through military force.” They are necessary actions to safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. They are also a serious warning against external interfering forces. They are natural, legal and reasonable.
