The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing deep concern over the move, which it views as a violation of the One-China principle and a threat to regional peace and stability.

The spokesperson emphasized that the US arms sales are sending a dangerous message to Taiwan's separatist forces and could escalate tensions in the Taiwan Strait.

China urged the US to immediately cease its support for Taiwan and refrain from taking actions that could undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Beijing has vowed to take decisive countermeasures to safeguard its national interests and maintain stability in the region. (ILKHA)
