China Urges U.S. to Stop Arms Sales to Taiwan
China Urges U.S. to Stop Arms Sales to Taiwan
RIA Novosti
January 9, 2010
BEIJING- China urged the United States on Saturday to reverse its decision to sell arms to Taiwan, Xinhua reported.
The U.S. arms sales to Taiwan undermine China's national security as well as the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei told the agency, stressing Beijing's "resolute opposition" to the sales.
This was China's sixth official warning over the issue in a week, as government officials denounced the U.S. move.
He Yafei said China had strongly protested the U.S. government's recent decision to allow Raytheon Company and Lockheed Martin Corp. to sell weapons to Taiwan.
The sales plan was part of an arms package announced in October 2008 by the Bush administration, which included weapons and equipment such as Patriot III anti-missile systems.
He said the Taiwan issue was "the most important and sensitive issue at the core of Sino-U.S. relations."

Yes, because China wants to take over Taiwan to use it as a forward military base in their drive to become the #1 superpower in the world.
Both Chinese and Taiwan citizens have told me this, the "reunification" argument is simply a BS smokescreen.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
