China warned Taiwan on Thursday that seeking independence by relying on the United States would “only lead to a dead end”, after Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te said he hoped Washington would soon approve a $14 billion arms sale to the self-ruled island.
“Seeking independence by relying on the United States or through military means is a dead end,” Chinese spokesperson Lin Jian told a news conference when asked about Lai’s comments, adding the Taiwanese leader’s rhetoric “only exposes his deep-seated anxiety and insecurity”.
