China urges US to stop arms sales to Taiwan: Spokesperson - China.org.cn

China on Monday reiterated its firm opposition to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, urging the United States to handle Taiwan-related issues prudently and properly and avoid "treading further down the wrong and dangerous path."

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying made the remarks at a daily press briefing when commenting on the arms sales.

"China stands firmly opposed to the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan," Hua said, adding that this position is clear and consistent.

According to reports, Taiwan has spent 11.8 billion U.S. dollars since the beginning of this year on purchasing weapons from the United States, Hua said.
