BEIJING, Feb. 27 -- "The Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China, which brooks no external interference. We firmly reject any form of US military contact with and US arms sale to China's Taiwan region," said Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, at a press conference on Thursday.
The spokesperson made the above remarks when responding to the related news reports. According to reports, the US government will soon unfreeze $870 million in "security aid" for Taiwan and the DPP authorities are considering another arms purchase from the US worth between $7 billion and $10 billion in the hope of gaining the so-called support from the Trump administration.
" 'Soliciting US support for independence' is a dead end. Diverting taxpayers' money that should have been used to benefit the public into the endless abyss of 'harming and ruining Taiwan' will surely lead to self-inflicted disasters for the DPP authorities," said the spokesperson.
