FACT CHECK: US Arms Sales to Taiwan Do Not Break America’s Promise to China | VOANews
Показать описание
On March 2, the U.S. State Department approved a $619 million arms sale to Taiwan, just as the democratically self-governing island reported a second day of Chinese air force incursions into its air defense identification zone.
China, which claims Taiwan as its territory, said it “firmly opposes” the deal and urged the United States to “stop arms sales to and military contact with Taiwan.”
“The U.S. arms sales to China’s Taiwan region seriously violate the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-U.S. joint communiques, especially the August 17 Communique,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said March 2.
That is misleading.
First, Beijing’s “one-China principle” differs from the U.S. “one-China policy.”
