00:53

The Chinese mainland always opposes the U.S. arms sales to the Taiwan region as it seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint communiques, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday.

Recently, the U.S. and Taiwan region have been increasing their military ties, and a group of 25 U.S. arms dealers visited Taiwan to hold a "defense forum" with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities, once again demonstrating that the U.S. is turning Taiwan into a "powder keg" and the victims are the compatriots in Taiwan, Mao said.
