The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded to the US arms sales to Taiwan: "Relying on the United States to seek independence" and "seeking independence by force" are seeking a dead end

On December 22, Zhu Fenglian, a spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that we firmly oppose the United States providing weapons to the Taiwan region of China in any way, and this position is consistent and clear. This move by the US seriously violates the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, especially the "August 17" communique. It violates the serious commitment of its leaders not to support "Taiwan independence" and sends a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. "Taiwan independence" separatist acts and foreign interference are the greatest threat to peace in the Taiwan Strait. We demand that the US immediately stop arming Taiwan and handle the Taiwan issue with caution. We warn the DPP authorities that "relying on the US to seek independence" and "seeking independence by force" is a desperate way. We will take firm and effective measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.
