China on Friday condemned a $1.3 billion US arms sale to Taiwan and called on the United States to stop any weapons deal with the island, which Beijing considers a rebel province.<\/p>\n

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told a press briefing that Beijing has lodged a formal protest with Washington and urged the US government to \u201cuphold its solemn commitment to the One-China principle\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaiwan is an indispensable part of China\u2019s territory and we firmly oppose this arms sale to Taiwan,\u201d Lu said.<\/p>\n

His comments come after China\u2019s embassy in the United States slammed the sale, saying it was a \u201cwrong move\u201d that would hurt relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wrong move of the US side runs counter to the consensus reached by the two presidents in Mar-a-Lago and the positive development momentum of the China-US relationship,\u201d the embassy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will harm the mutual trust and cooperation between China and the US.\u201d<\/p>

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with his US counterpart Donald Trump at the billionaire\u2019s luxury resort in Florida in April.<\/p>\n

Relations between the two countries had appeared to improve since the talks, with Trump hailing an \u201coutstanding\u201d relationship with Xi.<\/p>\n

But there are signs the honeymoon might be over with Trump criticising China for not doing enough to get North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions and the US slapping sanctions on a Chinese bank accused of laundering North Korean cash.<\/p>\n
