October 31st (AMSP/CGTN) – – China has urged the United States not to cross the red line when it comes to China’s Taiwan.
The US Defense Department announced on October 26th, that the State Department had approved nearly two billion dollars’ worth of arms sales to China’s Taiwan, including surface-to-air missile systems and radar systems. In response, the Chinese Defense Ministry’s spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang said on Thursday, that Washington has sent the wrong signal to separatist forces.
The United States has reneged on its own promise and is intensifying efforts to arm Taiwan, emboldening the so-called “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and pushing Taiwan closer towards the abyss of a military conflict.
The Democratic Progressive Party authorities purchased weapons to solicit U.S. support, allowing the U.S. to exploit the hard-earned money of the people in Taiwan to feed its military-industrial complex, Zhang Xiaogang disclosed.
Records have proven time and again that the “Taiwan independence” separatists and foreign interference are the source of chaos that undermine the status quo, cause cross-strait issues, and disrupt regional stability, he added.
