China opposes to US arms sales to Taiwan stemming from Chinese principles, Zhu Bangzao made the remarks during his chatting and exchange with the public through the website of Foreign Ministry on Wednesday.
China Stick to its Stance in Both Matters
Some netizens said that the United States, on the one hand, ask China to support their anti-terrorism, on the other hand, they sell arms to Taiwan. This is a dual criterion.
At this point, Zhu responded, "We support anti-terrorism stemming from our principles. In the same way, we protest against US to sell arms to Taiwan also proceeding from our principles. We won't barter away principles." Zhu stressed, "We stick to our stance in both matters".
Developing Trend Independent of Man's Will
Some net surfers asked that "some countries still have formal diplomatic relationship" with Taiwan. Some of them are still influential in certain regions. What will China do?
Zhu pointed out that more and more countries nowadays recognize and adhere to the One-China Policy. He asked in reply, "How many countries have 'diplomatic relationship' with Taiwan in 1950's or 1960's? And how are these now? The developing trend is independent of man's will".
Zhu believed that more and more countries would recognize the People's Republic of China and develop relationship with China in the future.
