Chinese military issues warning to US
Oh dear. How very dreadful.
[RT] The foreign and defense ministries in Beijing issued harsh statements on Monday condemning the Biden administration’s approval of a new US arms sale to Taiwan. The deal is worth an estimated $108 million and includes armored vehicle parts and technical assistance.

Beijing “demands” that the United States “immediately withdraw the above-mentioned arms sales plan to Taiwan,” as well as halt all other arms deals and cut military ties with the island, said Defense Ministry spokesman Colonel Tan Kefei. “Otherwise, the US side will be solely responsible for undermining the relationship between China and the US and the two militaries and the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.”

“The Chinese People's Liberation Army will take all necessary measures to firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and resolutely thwart any form of external interference and separatist attempts for ‘Taiwan independence’,” the colonel added.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin echoed this sentiment, saying that Washington’s arms supplies “gravely undermine China’s sovereignty and security interests, and severely harm China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”

“China will continue to take resolute and strong measures to firmly defend its sovereignty and security interests,” Wang added.

"Behave yourself! Or I swear to Gawd I will resolutely thwart you, you bastard!"

Say, that has a nice old world tang to it.

#4 In the world of military expenditures, $108M is peanuts.
I'd rather it be $108B. That might have an impact.

#5 Awfully tough talk for a country that has the most vulnerable energy and food logistical import line in the world.



Would be a shame if something happened to it.

#6 ...now if they would just extract it from land based resources just north of them, they'd be more energy secure.

#8 A much easier solution would be to ban their cargo ships from all US ports...which they never should have been allowed to enter in the first place. Oh, and stop issuing visas for their people to enter the United States and revoke all outstanding visas for Chinese nationals. Fuck 'em.

#9 They're already at war with us. Fentanyl is a chemical weapon and covid is a bio-weapon. Both were and are being deployed maliciously and deliberately. Fuck the Chinese.
