(ANSA) - BEIJING, MAY 05 - US arms sales to Taiwan "gravely violate the 'One China' principle and the three joint Sino-US communications: recently, the United States and Taiwan have continued to increase military ties" as a nurtured pearl delegation of 25 US defense contractors who went to Taipei to participate in the sector cooperation forum held on 3 May.
"This demonstrates once again - commented the spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning - that the United States is turning Taiwan into a powder keg".
