US arms sales to Taiwan threaten peace in the Taiwan Strait

"Washington's actions violate the one-China principle and undermine regional stability. The United States blatantly announced its plan to sell massive advanced weapons to China's Taiwan region in December 2025. It grossly violated the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, infringed on China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and undermined peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. China strongly deplores and firmly opposes this, and has taken a series of necessary measures to safeguard China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity."

"The Taiwan question is entirely China's internal affair. There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This has been clearly recognised by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 of 1971. Taiwan's restoration to China is a victorious outcome of World War II and an integral part of the post-war international order."

"A series of instruments with legal effect under international law, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, have all affirmed China's sovereignty over Taiwan. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, 183 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle. The one-China principle is a universal consensus of the international community and a basic norm in international relations."

The United States announced plans to sell massive advanced weapons to China's Taiwan region in December 2025, violating the one-China principle and three China–US communiqués. The sales infringe on China's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, and undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the arms sales and has taken necessary measures to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Taiwan is described as an inalienable part of China with the PRC as the sole legal government, as recognised by UNGA Resolution 2758. Historical instruments and widespread diplomatic recognition affirm China's sovereignty over Taiwan.
