Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 4 hours ago

But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion.” 12 hours ago

“The US arms sales to the Taiwan region of China seriously violate the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, especially the August 17 Communiqué, gravely undermine China's sovereignty and security interests, and severely harm China-US relations and cross-Strait peace and stability. China firmly opposes this and strongly condemns this. China urges the US to abide by the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-US joint communiqués, immediately revoke the arms sales plan, and stop arms sales to and military ties with Taiwan. China will take legitimate and strong measures to resolutely defend its sovereignty and security interests.”

“The so-called 'one China policy' mentioned by the US is different from the one China principle held by China and broadly recognized among the international community. So the Biden administration just recognizes that there is only one China, but it didn't say it will respect the one China principle. But compared to what the former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from the Trump administration said previously, this is a less provocative expression. The best the Biden administration can do is not to make further provocations. But when we communicate with Americans, we stressed that if the US wants to do something to stabilize the situation, words are not enough, we need to see more actions. According to some sources from the US, it seems like Biden is withholding the implementation of some arms sale deals with the Taiwan authority signed by the Trump administration. So we need to pay attention to what the US will do exactly, rather than merely listen to what it says.”

“Taiwan has not been a part of China. And that was recognized with the work that the Reagan administration did to lay out the policy that the United States has adhered to now for three and a half decades and done so under both administrations. No, I actually think this is, in fact, bipartisan. I think the central understandings that this is a model for democracy, that the people who live on Taiwan ought to be honored by having the Chinese live up to the commitments that they have made. I think this is something that both parties can agree to, and I hope that this will continue for as long as this is the case that the Chinese and the Taiwanese can’t figure their way through this. We ought to honor the commitments that have been made. And we have a set of obligations. You’ve seen our announcements with respect to weapon sales to Taiwan to assist in their defense capabilities. All of these things are designed to live up to the promises that have been made between, frankly, China and the Taiwanese people.”

“Although US politicians always said the arms sales can reinforce the stability of the region, the fact is that more US arms sales will bring less mutual trust between Taiwan and the mainland, and incur more military drills by the PLA, and the mainland will increase its inputs to further enlarge its military advantage over the island. If the Chinese mainland determines that the US arms sales can make Taiwan a 'porcupine' that could effectively increase the difficulties for the reunification, the mainland might decide to solve the problem before Taiwan get fully armed to become a real 'porcupine'. Those arms sales serve the US interest instead of Taiwan's safety, and the increasing arms sales will make the island get closer to the brink of war.”

“The US missiles could bring some threats to the PLA if war breaks out between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, so this is more proof that the US has violated its promises made in the three joint communiques with the People's Republic of China to gradually reduce its arms sales to Taiwan. The threat that these Harpoon missiles poses to the PLA is very limited, as they are high subsonic missiles designed in the 1980s, and the current self-defense and anti-missile facilities installed by the PLA on its vessels and land-based bases can shoot them down easily. The US has a more advanced anti-ship missile with stealth capability, but it won't sell it to Taiwan, so the latest announced sale is another expensive deal aimed at taking Taiwan taxpayers' money with low-quality weapons, in other words, the US is still treating the island as a 'cash machine'.”

“China will take legitimate and necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty and security interests with firm determination. The move has interfered in China's internal affairs, seriously damaged China's sovereignty and security interests, and sent wrong signals to Taiwan secessionists, and has seriously harmed China-US relations and the peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.”

“HIMARS and SLAM-ER are cutting-edge technologically and will diversify and improve the capacity of Taiwan's counter-strike missile force. Invasion operations take a long time and they rely heavily on fixed bases for logistics. They are not short, one-wave affairs. If the ports and airfields in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong can be devastated before the PLA gets established on Taiwan's coast and builds up to the tipping point, it will be much easier for the Taiwanese ground forces to push the invaders back into the sea.”

“The United States seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués, especially the August 17 Communiqué, by selling arms to the Taiwan region. It seriously interferes in China's internal affairs, seriously harms China's sovereignty and security interests, sends out gravely wrong signals to Taiwan independence forces and severely undermines China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. China firmly opposes it. China urges the US side to fully recognize the very damaging nature of arms sales to Taiwan, abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués, stop arms sales to and military ties with the Taiwan region, cancel its arms sales plans to avoid further harming China-US relations and cross-strait peace and stability. China will make a legitimate and necessary reaction in the light of the development of the situation.”

“This includes a credible combat capability and asymmetric warfare capabilities to strengthen our determination to defend ourselves. This shows the importance attached by the United States to security in the Indo Pacific and Taiwan Strait. We will continue to consolidate our security partnership with the United States. We will not engage in an arms race with the Chinese Communists. We will put forward requirements and build fully in accordance with the strategic concept of heavy deterrence, defending our position and defensive needs.”
