BEIJING, July 24 (Reuters) - China's said on Wednesday the
United States is undermining global strategic stability by
expanding defence spending and selling arms to Taiwan.
China's defence ministry made the comments in a white paper.
It said issues regarding Taiwan were becoming more acute and
what it described as Taiwan independence separatist forces
remained the gravest immediate threat to peace and stability in
Taiwan Strait.
The U.S. State Department has approved a possible $2.2
billion in arms sales to Taiwan. The ministry said China made no promise to renounce the use
of force in Taiwan Strait if necessary.
