New Delhi, 30 August 2022

As per news report of Rt.com, the statement came after Politico reported that the Joe Biden administration is planning to ask lawmakers to approve an estimated $1.1 billion arms sale to the island. American arms sales to Taiwan represent a “blatant violation” of the ‘one China’ policy and other diplomatic agreements reached between the US and China, Liu told the TASS news agency when asked about the reported weapons transfer. Such deals also “embolden separatists” and escalate tensions in the Taiwan Strait, the spokesman added. “The US side needs to immediately stop arms sales to and military contact with Taiwan, stop creating factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and follow through on the US government statement of not supporting ‘Taiwan independence,’” the diplomat stressed.
