several major events have occurred internationally recently. the first thing: according to a report by guangzhou daily, the u.s. state department has approved the sale of spare parts and technical support needed for fighter jets to taiwan, with a total amount of approximately us$228 million. in this regard, chinese ministry of national defense spokesperson zhang xiaogang made it clear that the united states' sales of weapons to china's taiwan region seriously violates the one-china principle and the three sino-us joint communiqués, especially the provisions of the "august 17 communique". these actions have seriously damaged china's sovereignty and security interests, and seriously undermined peace and stability in the taiwan strait region. china expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and has made solemn representations to the united states. it needs to be emphasized that taiwan's security depends on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. the weapons made in the united states are not a "talisman" for the dpp authorities, but a "lifeline" for its own destruction.
in august 2024, the united states' foreign arms sales activities increased significantly, and as of now, the total value of arms deliveries owed by the united states to taiwan has reached us$20.5 billion. the u.s.'s delay in arms supplies has left taiwan facing a defense dilemma. in this regard, zhang yanting said, "the current weapons are not yet in place, making it impossible for training to proceed smoothly." according to reports, zhang yanting pointed out that there are three problems with u.s. arms sales to taiwan: first, the latest weapons are not sold; second, payment has already been made orders were delayed; third, unnecessary expired military products were provided to taiwan to clear inventory.
