중국, 미국의 대만 무기판매 계획 맹비난…"즉각 취소하라"

There's the trade war, but things are tense between the U.S. and China militarily too.
Beijing is demanding that Washington cancel its proposed sale of more than 2 billion dollars' worth of arms to Taiwan.
Hong Yoo reports.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Geng Shuang said Tuesday that Beijing has filed a formal complaint with the U.S. State Department through diplomatic channels.
It called on the U.S. to immediately cancel its proposed two-point-two billion U.S. dollar arms sale to Taiwan.
Beijing expressed its "strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" to the proposed sale, calling it "crude interference" in Chinese internal affairs that harmed "China's sovereignty and security interests."
"China urges the United States to honor its commitment to the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, immediately revoke its planned arms sales to Taiwan to avoid further damage to the China-U.S. relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait."
According to the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the proposed sale includes 108 Abrams tanks and 250 Stinger surface-to-air-missiles to help Taiwan "meet current and future regional threats" by improving the security and defensive capability of Taiwan.
The proposed sale still needs the approval of Congress but it's very likely to be given the green light.
Taiwan's foreign ministry said the arms sale will help boost its defensive capability.
Experts expect a strong backlash from China if the sale goes through,... further intensifying tensions between Washington and Beijing
