🌏 In a fresh diplomatic exchange, the Chinese mainland spokesperson Chen Binhua took aim at Washington’s latest defense law, which allocates $1 billion in military aid to Taiwan and invites the island of Taiwan to join a U.S. military exercise. The move, embedded in the National Defense Authorization Act passed by the U.S. Senate, has stirred a firm response from Beijing.
💬 Chen stressed that the Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair and brooks no external interference. He said the Chinese mainland firmly opposes any Taiwan-related content in U.S. Congress bills or military contact between the United States and China’s Taiwan.
💢 On the inclusion of three U.S. firms in China’s unreliable entity list, Chen accused these companies of defying Beijing’s strong opposition by engaging in so-called military technology cooperation with Taiwan. He warned that such actions undermine China’s national sovereignty, security and development interests, and promised to hold the firms accountable under the law.
🔍 This exchange underscores rising tensions in cross-strait ties as the Chinese mainland and the U.S. navigate a complex geopolitical chessboard. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story! 🌟
