CGTN

The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday expressed disaffection and opposition as the U.S. on Saturday approved a $300 million sale of equipment to Taiwan region, vowing to take countermeasures against relevant enterprises involved in arms sales to the Chinese island.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remark at a daily press briefing on Monday and said the Chinese side has lodged solemn representations with the U.S. side.

"The Taiwan question is a matter of China's internal affairs and allows no external interference," Wang told reporters. "No matter how many weapons the U.S. provides to Taiwan region, it will neither stop the historical process of China's reunification nor shake the firm will of the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
