According to the official website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the United States insists on selling weapons to China's Taiwan region, and the Chinese side has decided to impose sanctions on five US military enterprises. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the United States' arms sales to China's Taiwan region have seriously undermined China's sovereignty and security interests, seriously undermined peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and flagrantly violated the one-China principle.
In response to the above-mentioned erroneous acts of the US side, China has decided to impose sanctions on five US military enterprises, including the United Technology Systems Operating Company. The sanctions include freezing movable property, immovable property and other types of property in the mainland, and prohibiting organizations and individuals in the mainland from trading with them. This is one of China's measures to resist US hegemony and safeguard its national sovereignty and interests.
In addition, China urges the US side to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués, abide by international law and basic norms governing international relations, stop arms sales to Taiwan, and stop unilateral sanctions against China. China's counterattack this time is quite rare, and the intensity of the counterattack by adding five US companies to the sanctions list at one time is quite rare, which shows China's firm posture in safeguarding national sovereignty and interests.
At last year's San Francisco summit, the United States promised not to support Taiwan independence and respect the one-China principle, but the United States instead sold tens of thousands of sets of individual equipment to Taiwan in an attempt to arm the Taiwan military and people to fight urban street battles and push the Taiwan Strait into a state of war. The United States does one thing in front of one person and one thing behind the other, and it does not have the demeanor of a great power at all, and China will of course have to respond. In fact, only when China makes a strong counterattack will the United States recognize its mistake and stop selling to Taiwan.
The United States has always insisted that the Taiwan issue is China's core interest, and it has used the Taiwan card to restrain China and create cross-strait confrontation. In particular, with the increasing rise of China, the United States feels that its hegemonic position is unstable, so it frequently uses the Taiwan card to contain China's rise and prevent China from developing well. The Taiwan issue is China's core interest, and when China will reunify Taiwan and how it will achieve reunification has nothing to do with the United States, and the United States' use of the Taiwan card to confront China will only arouse China's resentment and eventually lead to strong resistance from China.
China has always emphasized peaceful coexistence and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, but the United States has acted hegemonically and has no respect for China at all. In this regard, of course, China has taken action. US arms sales to Taiwan not only make it convenient for domestic arms dealers to make a fortune, but also boost the confidence of the Taiwan independence forces on the island to resist reunification by force, and increase the probability of cross-strait confrontation. For this reason, China can only take strong action to deter elements on the island and interference by foreign forces.
As a matter of fact, cross-strait reunification is the aspiration of the people, and no matter how many weapons and equipment the United States gives Taiwan, it will not be able to stop China from moving toward reunification.
