In a firm statement on Monday, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that no country, organization, or individual should attempt to cross the red line on the Taiwan question without facing consequences.
On June 21, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced its decision to impose countermeasures against the U.S. arms dealer Lockheed Martin Corp. and its executives. This move comes as a direct response to continued U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, which China argues seriously violate the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques.
During a daily press briefing, spokesperson Mao Ning stated that these arms sales meddle in China's internal affairs and undermine its sovereignty and territorial integrity. She confirmed that China has taken legal countermeasures against the relevant company and its executives involved in the arms sales.
Mao emphasized that the Taiwan question remains at the core of China’s national interests and is the primary red line that must not be crossed. \"No country, organization or individual should underestimate the strong determination, firm will, and strong ability of the Chinese government and the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and should not dream of crossing the red line on the Taiwan question without paying a price,\" Mao stated.
This development reflects the ongoing tensions between China and the United States regarding Taiwan and highlights China's unwavering stance on its territorial claims.
