🚨 China's defense ministry raised the alarm on Friday, cautioning the United States against the new National Defense Authorization Act, which includes $1 billion for so-called military cooperation with the Taiwan region.
Spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang slammed these measures as blatant interference in China's internal affairs and a threat to sovereignty, security and global stability. He called the Taiwan question the 'first red line' that must not be crossed in China-US relations.
Zhang urged the US to fully honor the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, and to keep its promise not to support 'Taiwan independence.' Sending weapons or military signals to the Taiwan region, he warned, would come at a heavy price.
For young travelers, entrepreneurs and global observers, this tiff between two superpowers is more than politics – it's a reminder of the fragile balance shaping Asia's future. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌏✌️
