Stressing that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, the spokesperson accused the U.S. of interfering in China’s internal affairs and undermining China’s sovereignty and security interests by selling arms to the Taiwan region. The spokesperson also pointed out the US side is sending the wrong signal to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and is severely jeopardizing China-US relations, as well as peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
