The United States' arms sales to the Taiwan region will not stop the historical trend of China's reunification, a Chinese mainland spokesman said on Wednesday.
Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, reaffirmed China's opposition to the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan after U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, which kept trumpeting for military support to Taiwan.
"The Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair which brooks no foreign interference. The U.S. side insisted on inserting negative content related to Taiwan into the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 in an attempt to further arm Taiwan and fan the flames across the Taiwan Strait with more supplies of weapons. This grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, seriously violates the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, sends a seriously wrong signal to Taiwan separatist forces, and undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. We strongly deplore and firmly oppose this," Chen said.
"We urge the United States to earnestly abide by the solemn political commitments it made to China on the Taiwan question, take real actions to honor its commitment of not supporting Taiwan separatist forces, and immediately stop arming Taiwan. We sternly warn the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities that no matter how they collude with external forces or how many U.S. weapons they buy, they cannot stop the historical trend of China's reunification. If they dare to take reckless moves, they will surely bring about their own destruction," he said.
