“For some time, the United States has been unreasonably attempting to contain China and grossly interfere in China’s internal affairs by selling arms to Taiwan,” Defense Ministry spokesperson Wu Qian said.

The Defense Ministry also criticized the US army for sending naval seamen and air force troops near China to conduct “provocative military operations.”

China urged Washington to show “sincerity” and take concrete measures to get military relations back on the right track.

For the first time, President Joe Biden’s administration has approved direct military aid to Taiwan under the foreign government financing program, the State Department informed this week.
