We urge the USA

USA companies which ignore the stern objections of the Chinese government and decide to sell weapons to Taiwan regardless, will face sanctions.

China has decided to halt bilateral military programs and security talks after the Obama administration gave accepatnce to a new package of arms sales to Taiwan.

USA move poses grave danger to China's core interests and hurt bilateral ties seriously, which will inevitably affect bilateral cooperation on some major regional and international issues.

The Obama administration notified Congress the 6.4-billion-USA-dollar package, in which Patriot missiles from the Lockheed Martin Corporation and 60 Black Hawk helicopters from the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation accounted for some 6 billion dollars.

Such a move gravely contravenes the three joint communiques between China and the United States, especially the Aug. 17 Communique, and it also severely undermines China's national security and its peaceful reunification cause.

The USA, in the Aug. 17 Communique issued in 1982, promised not to seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, and intended to reduce arms sales to the Taiwan island province.
 
China office of USA aircraft manufacturer Boeing has yet to receive any notice related to China's planned sanctions on companies involved in the latest arms sales to Taiwan.

Boeing China's communications director refused to respond to a flood of public criticism of the company on China's Internet forums.

Instead, he reiterated that China had always been a "very important" market for the company.

He said Boeing's main business in China was commercial aircraft, and this was doing very well.

The USA government announced Friday a plan to sell up to 6.4 billion USA dollars worth of weapons to Taiwan, which involved Boeing as a supplier.

China announces it will soon implement sanctions on USA companies involved in the sale and suspend scheduled visits between Chinese and USA armed forces.

Chinese online chatrooms were filled with criticism of the sales to Taiwan and support for the government over its intended sanction against companies involved.

Corporate greed should also be blamed for USA government decision to sell the weapons to Taiwan, according to many of the postings.

Boeing entered the Chinese market 38 years ago. China's growing economy and an rising number of people who can afford air traveling have made the aviation industry particularly lucrative in the global economic downturn.
 
yellow_peril said:
Taiwan is part of China’s territory, and both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to one country, not two.

This indisputable fact has been proved by history, reality, and law.

Since ancient times, Tai wan has been part of China. From the Song Dynasty (960-1279) to the reign of Guangxu (1875-1908) of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese Government had exercised sovereignty over Taiwan. In 1885, the Qing Government formally established Taiwan as an independent province. In 1895, Taiwan and the Penghu Archipelago were snatched away by the Japanese imperialists in the Sino –Japanese War (1894-95). However, the Chinese people never accepted the unequal treaties, including the Treaty of Shimonoseki, forced upon them, and fought relentlessly for their abolition.

In July 1937, Japanese imperialists launched an invasion of China.

In December 1941, the Chinese Government issued a Notice Delaying War Against Japan, which stated clearly to both Chinese and foreigners that all treaties, agreements and contracts covering Sino-Japanese relations would be null and void and solemnly declared that China would “recover Taiwan, the Penghu Archipelago and the four provinces in the northeast.” The Treaty of Shimonoseki was, of course, included in this announcement.

In December 1943, China, the United States and Britain signed the Cairo Declaration.

In July 1945, the three countries signed the Potsdam Proclamation, which was later joined by the Soviet Union. Both of the documents categorically stated that Japan should return all occupied Chinese territories such as the northeast provinces, Taiwan and the Penghu Archipelago, to China.

In August 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally and accepted the Potsdam Proclamation.

Two months later, Taiwan returned to the motherland and was again included within the sovereignty of China. Ever since then, Taiwan’s status as part of Chinese territory has never changed.

In October 1949, the Chinese people achieved a great victory in their revolution against imperialism and feudalism and overthrew the reactionary rule by the Republic of China (ROC).

This is the historical choice made by the Chinese people.

The PRC became China’s sole legitimate government and the sole legitimate representative on the international stage. Naturally, it inherited the sovereignty over the whole China including Taiwan, which was formerly exercised by the ROC.

With regard to international law, this is an example of government inheritance, which has already been internationally recognized.

Though the Taiwan authorities still hold the banner of ROC after October 1949, the so-called ROC in Taiwan has lost all legitimacy and is no longer a legitimate government representing China.

It has never been a fact that two Chinas coexist internationally. This is merely fantasy.

In October 1971, the 26th Session of the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution No.2758, which stated clearly “the representative of the PRC Government is the sole legitimate representative at the UN, and that PRC is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council”,

It also declared an immediate expulsion of the representatives of the Chiang Kai-shek clique from all UN organs. This demonstrates that the UM has accepted the fact that the PRC government is the sole legitimate representative of China.

The issue about who is China’s legitimate representative in the UN has been decided.

Over 160 countries worldwide have established diplomatic ties with the PRC. France, Japan and the United States established diplomatic ties with China respectively in 1964, 1972 and 1979. They, and all other countries having diplomatic ties with China respectively in 1964, 1972 and 1979.

They, and all other countries having diplomatic ties with China, recognize and respect the fact that there is only one China, that Taiwan is part of China, and that the PRC is the sole legitimate government of all China.

This is the inevitable outcome of the development of objective conditions and will continue.

The territory and sovereignty of a country are not allowed to be separated.

It is the right of every country to safeguard its territorial integrity, and this is also the basic norm of international law.

A country’s sovereignty belongs to the whole nation that allows no alteration by any region or any number of people. The fact that the two sides of the Straits have not been reunified does not affect in any way Taiwan’s status as part of China’s territory and Chinese sovereignty over the island.

The Taiwan issue is an aftermath of the civil war, therefore, the solution is entirely an internal affair of China.

United States President Barrack Obama has said the United States would continue to fully support the one-China policy, and he would be very pleased to see the improving cross-strait relationship.

So he should. PRC was a partner in his candidacy.
