China again warns against arms sales to Taiwan

BEIJING: China again expressed its opposition to arms sales to Taiwan on Wednesday, the latest in a series of warnings over recent U.S. government contracts with Raytheon Company and LockheedMartin Corp. for Taiwan-bound weapons.

``The stand we take in opposing any country selling arms to Taiwan has been consistent and clear,'' the spokesman for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, Yang Yi, told a news conference. Officials from the defense and foreign ministries have already publicly opposed the U.S. contracts, warning they could hurt China-U.S. relations.
