Ministry of Defense responses

The Chinese People's Liberation Army will take all necessary measures to firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and resolutely defeat any form of external forces interference and "Taiwan independence" division.

Question: It is reported that the US Department of Defense and Security Cooperation recently announced that the US Department of Defense has approved the sale of military technical assistance worth about $ 108 million in Taiwan to strengthen the so -called US -Taiwan military cooperation and enhance Taiwan's "threat" capabilities. What are the comments on this?

Answer: The sales of weapons in Taiwan, China, have seriously violated the three joint communiqués of China and China and the United States, especially the "August 17th" communiqué. The relationship between the two countries and the two armies, China resolutely opposed it.

The Taiwan issue is related to China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, involving China's core interests. Recently, the United States has repeatedly promised "Four Unintentional" to the Chinese side, and it is clearly stated that they do not support "Taiwan independence", but they have different words and deeds on the issue of Taiwan's military sales. China requires the United States to immediately revoke the above -mentioned military sales plan for Taiwan to stop all Taiwan -selling weapons and US -Taiwan military contacts. Otherwise, it will undermine the responsibility of the peace and stability of the Taiwan and the United States and the Taiwan Strait, which will be completely borne by the United States.

It should be emphasized that the future of Taiwan, the security of Taiwan's compatriots, and the well -being of the interests cannot be bought. The DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" split forces attempts to rely on the beauty of the United States, and the "martial arts independence" will only be drinking thirst. The Chinese People's Liberation Army will take all necessary measures to firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and resolutely defeat any form of external forces interference and "Taiwan independence" division.
