BEIJING (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th July, 2022) China demands the United States to cancel its deal with Taiwan on providing arms worth $108 million and halt military cooperation with Taipei, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Tan Kefei said on Monday.

Earlier in July, the US State Department approved selling military equipment worth $108 million to Taiwan.

"China demands that the US immediately withdraw its plan to sell weapons to Taiwan, cut off all military ties with the island, otherwise, the responsibility for the destruction of military relations between Beijing and Washington, as well as peace and stability in Taiwan, will fall entirely on the United States," Tan said, as quoted by the ministry.
