State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: "Taiwan independence" separatist forces dare to cross the red line, we must strike head-on.

On the 24th, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked about the US arms sales to Taiwan. In response, spokesperson Peng Qing'en stated that the Taiwan issue is at the core of China's core interests, the first red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations. The US blatantly announced plans to sell a large number of weapons to Taiwan, grossly interfering in China's internal affairs, seriously violating the One China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, especially the "August 17 Communique", seriously undermining China's sovereignty and security interests, and sending a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces. We firmly oppose and strongly condemn this. We demand that the US immediately stop arming Taiwan, stop condoning and supporting "Taiwan independence" forces, adhere to the One China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, implement the commitments made by American leaders, and handle the Taiwan issue with caution.
