The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry recently criticized the U.S. for approving a sales plan for advanced tactical data systems to Taiwan and asserted that the U.S. would continue to support Taiwan, regardless of the next presidency.
China strongly opposes the sale of weapons to Taiwan and any government-level exchange with Taiwan, emphasizing that Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory.
The spokesperson demanded that the U.S. stop arms sales and military contact with Taiwan, refrain from creating instability in the Taiwan Strait, cease government-level exchanges with Taiwan, and avoid sending any wrong signals to separatist forces seeking Taiwanese independence.

China reiterated its stance of taking decisive and strong measures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This statement highlights the ongoing tensions between China and the U.S. over Taiwan, a sensitive issue in the region. China considers Taiwan a part of its territory and opposes any attempts to support Taiwan’s independence.
The U.S., on the other hand, has a long-standing policy of providing arms and support to Taiwan as part of its commitment to ensuring Taiwan’s security and autonomy.
The conflicting positions have led to periodic flare-ups in tensions between the two countries, with both sides emphasizing their commitment to their respective positions.
