the us-china military dialogue failed to reach an agreement. the us continued to provoke, with military aircraft openly flying over the taiwan strait and increasing arms sales to taiwan. china announced sanctions on nine us companies. what dialogues have china and the us had recently? the us has continued to challenge china's red line on the taiwan strait issue. what signal does this send? what countermeasures has china launched?

recently, senior military officials from china and the united states have been communicating frequently. it was generally believed that this would be a positive signal for the easing of sino-us relations, but the development of the situation has been somewhat counterproductive.

on september 10, wu yanan, commander of china's southern theater command, held a video call with paparo, commander-in-chief of the u.s. indo-pacific forces. at that time, both china and the united states gave relatively positive evaluations of the call. however, the two sides still had differences on the south china sea issue and needed further communication.

subsequently, the us department of defense took the initiative to upgrade the level of representatives participating in the beijing xiangshan forum, and a delegation led by deputy assistant secretary of defense chase visited china.

during the xiangshan forum, pla lieutenant general he lei also warned chase in person that the united states should not have any illusions about the taiwan issue, and emphasized that china is not afraid of accidental clashes and has a time limit for recovering taiwan.

next, the leaders of the international military cooperation office of the central military commission held a two-day meeting with the delegation led by chase on september 14 and 15. this was also the 18th working meeting between the chinese and us defense ministries.

however, judging from a series of actions taken by the us side, it is clear that the recent communications between china and the us have not yet reached an agreement.

less than 48 hours after the meeting, on september 17, a u.s. military p-8a anti-submarine patrol aircraft flew over the taiwan strait, claiming that its actions were "routine" and not targeted at any specific incident, but emphasized that this action "demonstrates the united states' commitment to a free and open indo-pacific region."

the eastern theater command also issued a statement saying that it had organized fighter jets to monitor and guard against the overflight of us aircraft and to deal with them in accordance with the law.

but on the same day, the u.s. department of defense's defense security cooperation agency issued a statement saying that it would continue to increase arms sales to taiwan, and its state department had approved a total of us$228 million in arms sales services to taiwan, including the return, maintenance, and re-shipment services of aircraft and related equipment.

in yesterday's video program, we talked about how "taiwan independence" elements have been active recently, even launching a protest march in new york, demanding that the united nations accept taiwan. any continued move to arm taiwan is actually supporting lai qingde and the dpp authorities in their stubborn pursuit of "taiwan independence" and provoking the one-china principle. it not only seriously interferes in china's internal affairs, but also seriously undermines the peace and stability of the taiwan strait.

this move by the united states undoubtedly caused strong dissatisfaction among china. the next day, foreign ministry spokesman lin jian announced that china had lodged solemn representations to the united states and taken resolute countermeasures, announcing that it would impose sanctions on nine us military-industrial enterprises.

it is reported that china's sanctions this time include freezing the movable, immovable and other types of property of relevant companies within my country, and prohibiting organizations and individuals within my country from conducting related transactions, cooperation and other activities with them.
