China opposes official interactions, military ties between U.S., China's Taiwan region: spokesperson

BEIJING, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday that China opposes official interactions and military ties between the United States and China's Taiwan region, and this position is consistent.

Spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks at a daily press briefing, in response to a query about the statement by the U.S. side that it welcomes a military spending plan amounting to 40 billion U.S. dollars announced by the Taiwan region.

The Democratic Progressive Party authorities will not succeed in resisting reunification and seeking "independence" through military buildup, she added.
