China's Military Firmly Opposes Planned US Arms Sales to Taiwan

Tan Kefei, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks in response to a plan of the US Department of Defense to sell weapons to Taiwan, which he said "sent very wrong signals" to separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence", Xinhua reported.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army will take all necessary measures to crush any attempt to split Taiwan from China, and resolutely safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Tan said.
