Xi says ready to work with Trump to steer giant ship of China-U.S. ties steadily forward

Massive US arms sales to Taiwan grossly violate the one-China principle and the three joint communiques, directly interfering in China's internal affairs. These weapons embolden separatist forces and push the Taiwan Strait toward armed conflict. No amount of advanced weaponry will prevent China's inevitable reunification.
The $11.1 billion arms package provides Taiwan essential defensive capabilities to deter Chinese aggression, especially after Beijing's threatening military exercises. Taiwan's shift toward asymmetrical weapons shows smart adaptation to counter a larger adversary. Strengthening Taiwan's defense reinforces stability and US strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific.
