Reporter: According to media reports, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency under the United States Department of Defense on Tuesday announced that the U.S. State Department has approved an arms sales plan worth 95 million U.S. dollars to China's Taiwan region, which includes military technologies and relevant equipment, to provide professional and technical assistance to Taiwan’s Patriot Air Defense System. What's your comment?
答：美国向中国台湾地区出售武器，严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报特别是“八·一七”公报规定，粗暴干涉中国内政，严重损害中国主权和安全利益，严重破坏中美两国两军关系和台海地区和平稳定，中方对此表示坚决反对，向美方提出严正交涉。
台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。台湾问题事关中国核心利益，绝不允许任何外来干涉。中方敦促美方恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，立即撤销上述对台军售计划，停止美台军事联系，以免对两国两军关系造成进一步破坏。中国人民解放军将采取有力措施，坚决挫败任何形式的外部势力干涉和“台独”分裂图谋，坚定捍卫国家主权和领土完整。
Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense: The U.S. arms sales to the Taiwan region of China seriously violate the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-US joint communiques, especially the August 17 Communique, grossly interfere China's internal affairs, gravely undermine China's sovereignty and security interests, and severely harm the relations between the two countries and their militaries, also gravely sabotage peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. China is firmly opposed to this and makes solemn representations to the US side.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. The Taiwan question concerns China's core interests and brooks no foreign interference. China urges the U.S. to abide by the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-US joint communiques, revoke the arms sales plan and stop military ties with Taiwan, to avoid causing further damage to the relations between the two countries and their militaries. The Chinese People's Liberation Army will take firm and strong measures to thwart any form of interference by external forces and the separatists' "Taiwan independence" plot, and resolutely defend China’s national sovereignty and security interests.
