Chinese Defense Ministry: Washington's transfer of weapons to Taipei could lead to war

Бриф

This was stated by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wu Jian.

Wu Jian commented on the decision of US President Joe Biden to allocate $ 567 million for the supply of weapons and military assistance to Taiwan. According to the politician, this can lead to an armed conflict.

Arming the island is aimed at encouraging its independence, the representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry stressed. He also noted that attempts to use Taiwan to contain China will invariably lead to negative consequences.

Recall that the United States broke off relations with Taiwan in 1979. Despite this, they continue to maintain contacts with the Taipei administration and supply weapons there. All this contradicts the "one China" policy established by the PRC.
