Hey friends! 🌏 Big news from Asia: China just called out the U.S., urging them to stop sending weapons to the Taiwan region. 😲
On Saturday, a spokesperson from China's Foreign Ministry spoke up after the U.S. Defense Department announced a massive $1.988 billion arms sale to the Taiwan region on October 26. This deal includes advanced missile systems and radar tech. 🚀🛰️
China says these sales seriously violate the one-China principle and past agreements between China and the U.S., especially the 1982 August 17 Communique. 🇨🇳🇺🇸 They believe it infringes on China's sovereignty and security, hurts China-U.S. relations, and destabilizes peace in the Taiwan Strait.
The spokesperson didn't hold back, emphasizing that arming the Taiwan region sends the wrong message to those pushing for 'Taiwan independence.' 😬 They stressed that the U.S. actions go against their commitments and undermine efforts to keep things chill between the two superpowers.
China is urging the U.S. to hit the brakes on arms sales and any moves that might shake up the Taiwan Strait. They made it clear that they'll take strong measures to protect their national sovereignty and security. 💪
