reporter:it is reported that on september 16, local time, the us state department approved the sale of spare parts and technical support required for fighter jets to taiwan, with the amount being approximately us$228 million. what is the spokesperson's comment?

zhang xiaogang:the us arms sales to china's taiwan region seriously violate the one-china principle and the three sino-us joint communiqués, especially the "august 17 communiqué", seriously damage china's sovereignty and security interests, and seriously undermine peace and stability across the taiwan strait. we are strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this and have lodged solemn representations to the us side.

"taiwan independence" is the biggest cancer to peace and stability in the taiwan strait. the us's "using force to support independence" sends a serious wrong signal to the separatist forces of "taiwan independence", which is gradually pushing taiwan into a dangerous situation of war, seriously endangering the safety and well-being of taiwan compatriots and seriously escalating tensions in the taiwan strait. it needs to be emphasized that taiwan's security depends on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. us-made weapons are not the "talisman" of the dpp authorities, but the "lifeline" of their self-destruction.

the taiwan issue is the first red line that cannot be crossed in sino-us relations. we urge the us to earnestly implement its commitment not to support "taiwan independence", stop military collusion between the us and taiwan, stop arming taiwan in any way, and take practical actions to maintain the stable, healthy and sustainable development of relations between the two countries and the two militaries. the chinese people's liberation army will continue to strengthen its military training and preparations, take decisive and effective measures, and resolutely thwart any secessionist plots for "taiwan independence" and external interference.
