🚨 Today, December 18, 2025, at a press conference in Beijing, the Chinese mainland's Taiwan Affairs Office voiced strong opposition to a new US proposal to streamline weapons sales to the Taiwan region.
Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian, responding to a CGTN question about the "PORCUPINE Act" (Providing Our Regional Companions Upgraded Protection in Nefarious Environments Act), said the Chinese mainland firmly opposes any attempt to seek legal grounds to arm the Taiwan region. The act aims to simplify procedures for selling weapons to the Taiwan region, Zhu noted.
This move marks another flashpoint in cross-strait ties as the US Congress debates the bill. Observers will be watching closely how lawmakers and the Taiwan region react.
