China has strongly condemned the United States for its recent arms sales to Taiwan, asserting that it violates the 'One China Principle' and joint communiques between the two nations, according to Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for China's defense ministry.

In a firm response, China has lodged solemn representations with the U.S., stating that these sales have seriously undermined China's sovereignty and security interests.

As a retaliatory measure, China announced on Wednesday its decision to implement actions against nine U.S. military-linked firms involved in the arms sales to Taiwan.
