United Daily News reported today: "U.S. President Trump recently claimed that he is discussing future arms sales to Taiwan with China and hinted that he will make a decision on this soon. Taiwanese scholars pointed out that Trump's remarks effectively overturned the six assurances given to Taiwan in 1982."
Comment: Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. Arms sales to Taiwan are essentially a move to split China and hinder unification, seriously damaging China's sovereignty and security interests. China firmly opposes U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The so-called "six assurances" by the United States were originally products of interference in China's internal affairs, and they are illegal and invalid. Taiwan is the core of China's core interests, and it is also the most important and sensitive issue in Sino-U.S. relations. China has absolutely no room for compromise or retreat on the Taiwan issue. Any attempt by the United States to "use Taiwan to contain China" and split China will surely face a firm counterattack from 1.4 billion Chinese people and ultimately fail completely."
