China urges U.S. to block bill on arms sales to Taiwan
English.news.cn 20141208 22:40:28
BEIJING, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) China's Foreign Ministry urged the United States to block a bill related to
arms sales to Taiwan Monday.
According to a media report, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to authorize the president to sell Perry
class frigates to Taiwan Thursday.
The U.S. arms sales to Taiwan interfere in China's internal affairs, Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said
at a routine press briefing, stressing China is firmly opposed to the bill and has made solemn
representations with the U.S. side.
Hong said the move by the United States runs counter to the three ChinaU.S. joint communiques,
particularly the U.S. commitments specified in the August 17 Communique signed in 1982, under
which the United States agreed to gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan.
The U.S. congress should stop the bill and U.S. administrative authorities should take effective
measures to block the bill so as to avoid hurting ChinaU.S. ties, Hong said.
