nsnbc : The People’s Republic of China has expressed its dissatisfaction with the United States after it passed a bill on Friday that is likely to expand defense communications with Taiwan.
The People’s Republic of China has made a ‘stern’ complaint with the U.S. after the House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act on Friday which increases defense cooperation with Taiwan by expanding military training and exercises.
The People’s Republic of China, which views the Republic of China / Taiwan as a part of its territory, was “unhappy with the decision” and has reacted in a negative way. Despite the absence of formal ties, the U.S. is the main source of arms for Taiwan.
Beijing’s reaction comes just a month after it criticized the U.S. for selling the arms worth US$1.42 billion to Taiwan. Beijing claimed this was a ‘wrong decision’ made by the US Government.
The defense policy bill was reportedly passed with the support of 117 Democrats and almost every Republican. Lu Kang, Foreign Ministry spokesman for the people’s Republic of China, told reporters “China has already lodged stern representations with the United States about this.” He added: “We urge the United States to fully recognize the serious harmfulness of the relevant clauses in the act, and should not allow them into law, and not turn back the wheel of history to avoid damaging the broad picture of Sino-U.S. cooperation.”
China often addresses Taiwan as the most sensitive and important issue between itself and the US. China and Taiwan’s relationship has been frosty ever since President Tsai Ing-wen took office last year.
Some European commentators noted the irony that a modern Chinese destroyer will be participating in upcoming Russian naval exercises in the Baltic, one of them asking if that was representative of Beijing’s highly-praised win-win soft power policy and if so, if the naval vessel was armed with soft-guns.
