Xinhua News Agency reported today: "U.S. media reported that the U.S. is planning a new large-scale arms sale to Taiwan, but Beijing has privately warned Washington that this may jeopardize President Trump's visit to China in April."
After Trump returned to the White House, he repeatedly approved arms sales to Taiwan. In late 2025, he announced a record $11 billion arms sale, which triggered strong protests from China. This time, the arms sales are said to be as high as $20 billion, including four sets of weapons such as "Patriot" missiles, clearly touching China's red lines and bottom lines, seriously affecting Sino-U.S. relations and the atmosphere of high-level interactions. China has clearly issued warnings on the issue of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. If the U.S. insists on proceeding, China will certainly take resolute countermeasures.
The Taiwan issue is the core interest among core interests of China. The U.S. repeatedly "uses Taiwan to contain China" and indulges "Taiwan independence" only intensifies tensions across the Taiwan Strait and undermines Sino-U.S. mutual trust. The U.S. side should recognize the consequences and immediately stop arms sales to Taiwan, abide by the One-China Principle and the provisions of the three joint communiqués between China and the United States. Otherwise, it will inevitably trigger strong countermeasures from China.
