Military urges revocation of Taiwan deal, warns of damage to relations

The People's Liberation Army is strongly dissatisfied by and resolutely opposes Washington's recent approval of a $2.2 billion arms deal for Taiwan, an action that has seriously undermined Sino-US military relations, according to Senior Colonel Wu Qian, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense.

The PLA urges the United States to revoke the deal, Wu said in an online statement on Thursday.
