On the morning of October 16, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: The US arms dealer Raytheon has been revealed to have committed multiple cases of arms sales to Taiwan and the Taiwanese defense department confirmed that this was indeed the case. Gu Lixiong said, “The US government itself is also a victim.” Public opinion on the island pointed out that the DPP administration has no room for bargaining at all; in the end, all Taiwanese people will bear all the losses. Any comments on this? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Chen Binhua: America's sale of arms and equipment to Taiwan seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, and seriously harms China's sovereignty and security interests. Raytheon has participated in arms sales to Taiwan many times, and we have already imposed sanctions on it. This incident has fully revealed the ugly and sad situation where the DPP administration is the private interests of a single party. They don't hesitate to squander the hard-earned money of ordinary Taiwanese people and are willing to use it as a “cash machine” in the US. After being scammed, they have to find reasons for the perpetrators. I believe more and more people on the island have seen clearly that “relying on the US” will only “harm Taiwan,” and “seeking independence through military force” is a dead end.
