The Chinese mainland has strongly opposed recent United States arms sales to the Taiwan region, declaring that such moves undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits.
At a press briefing on Wednesday, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, called on the U.S. to adhere to the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques. She urged Washington to cease arming Taiwan and refrain from sending misleading signals to separatist forces advocating \"Taiwan independence.\"<\/p>
Zhu emphasized that separatist activities and external interventions will not halt China's unwavering commitment to resolving the Taiwan question and achieving national reunification.<\/p>
The spokesperson pointed to Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party's steadfast stance on \"Taiwan independence\" and its ongoing collaboration with external entities as primary factors escalating tensions in the region.<\/p>
She also highlighted the mainland's efforts to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits, promoting greater exchanges and cooperation among compatriots across the strait.<\/p>
