China opposes [thing that strengthens and/or legitimizes Taiwan].
'Bout as shocking as the sun rising in the morning.
I was stunned, too.
“China is firmly against U.S. selling arms to Taiwan and has lodged solemn representations to the United States,” stated Zhao Lijian, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. “We urge the U.S. to abide by One China policy and Three Joint Communique; stop arm sales to Taiwan and military contact with Taiwan in order to avoid further damage on U.S.-China relation and Taiwan Strait relation.”
And the US replies...
As we welcome ’s inauguration for her 2nd presidential term this week, it’s worth remembering why the US has long considered Taiwan a force for good-and why we are committed to supporting its defense.
Translation: "Suck a dick China".
Smooch my American taint, China.
