The Chinese authorities are set to take decisive countermeasures over US plans to sell weapons worth $1.1 billion to Taiwan, Chinese embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu has told, APA reports citing TASS.

Commenting on the Pentagon’s announcement on Friday, the official called upon the US side "to honor its commitment, earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques."

"China will resolutely take legitimate and necessary counter-measures in light of the development of the situation," the Chinese diplomat said.

In his words, Washington should "stop arms sales to and military interactions with Taiwan, and immediately revoke relevant arms sales to Taiwan, lest it should cause more damages to China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait."
