China strongly opposes all sales of military hardware to Taiwan, including the latest that was reportedly approved by the US State Department, a move that seriously violates the foundational one-China principle and damages China's sovereignty and security interests, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense on Tuesday.
The US sale of military equipment will do nothing to challenge the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) overwhelming military superiority toward Taiwan, and amounts to yet another provocation that seriously impacts the one-China principle which is a long-standing prerequisite for China-US relations, said Chinese experts, adding that the sale is a potential "time bomb" confronting bilateral ties.
"The move by the US to sell weapons to Taiwan has seriously violated international law and basic norms of international relations, as well as the one-China principle and the three China-US Joint Communiqués," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said at Tuesday's routine press conference in Beijing.
