Taiwan wasting money to be chess piece of US
THE UNITED STATES announced on Monday it would sell military equipment worth $2.22 billion to Taiwan, which has been met with firm opposition from Beijing. Zhong Sheng, a columnist for People's Daily, comments:
The US move not only seriously contravenes international law and the norms of international relations, but also seriously violates the one China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqu��s, grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, undermines its sovereignty and security interests, poisons the atmosphere of Sino-US relations, and sabotages peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.
The Chinese government has repeatedly made clear its firm determination to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and its consistent opposition to any form of official exchanges and military contacts between any country and Taiwan.
