00:00Beijing issued a warning to Taipei following a massive multi-billion dollar weapons deal
00:04between the United States and Taiwan.
00:07Shang Han, spokeswoman for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office,
00:11stated on Wednesday that no matter how many weapons the Li Shanti administration purchases,
00:17it will not alter what she called the inevitable demise of Taiwan's cessation.
00:23The remarks from the central government came in direct response to a massive 14 billion dollar
00:28United States arms sale, recently approved by Washington.
00:32Beijing reiterates that foreign arms shipment will fade to change the cross-strait political reality.
00:44There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China,
00:49which is a historical and legal fact that no one can change or shake.
00:54And it is also a common consensus of the international community.
00:59China's firm opposition to the United States' sale of weapons to China's Taiwan region is consistent and clear.
01:06We urge the U.S. side to abide by the one-China principle and the three-China U.S.
01:13Join communiques and handle the Taiwan question with caution.
01:19No matter what fallacies Li Shanti spreads, or how many weapons he purchases,
01:23it cannot change Taiwan's status as part of China.
01:27Nor can it change the ironclad rule that Taiwan's future can only be decided by all the Chinese people,
01:32including the compatriots in Taiwan.
01:35Nor can it change the inevitable demise of Taiwan's secession.
