BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhua) -- Some Western politicians using Taiwan issue to interfere with China's internal affairs was "unacceptable," said Li Zhaoxing, spokesman of the annual session of China's parliament, here Thursday.
"At a time when the Chinese people across the Taiwan Strait are carrying out friendly exchanges as brothers, the advanced arms sales to Taiwan by a certain country is like handing a dagger to a person when he is hugging his brother," Li said at a press conference prior to the third session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC).
At the end of January, the U.S. government announced plans to sell a 6.4 billion-U.S.-dollar arms package to Taiwan, including Patriot missiles, Black Hawk helicopters and minesweepers. |
