U.S. Approves $360.2 Million Arms Sales to Taiwan Amid China's Condemnation, Says Lin Jian
Jun 20, 2024, 09:28 AM
The U.S. government has approved arms sales totaling $360.2 million to Taiwan, a move welcomed by Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This decision aligns with the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances, reinforcing the U.S. commitment to Taiwan's defense amid escalating aggression from China. In response, China has strongly condemned and firmly opposed the arms sales, urging the U.S. to revoke the decision. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized that the sales violate the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, infringing on China's sovereignty and security interests. China also criticized the U.S. for supporting Taiwan's pursuit of independence through military buildup.
