Poll to collect public opinions on U.S. arms sales to Taiwan
China angrily summoned the U.S. ambassador Saturday and warned that a plan to sell $6.4 billion in arms to Taiwan would harm already strained Sino-U.S. ties.


Cutoffs of military ties top the list of possible punishments that Chinese state media and academics have publicly discussed in recent weeks as Beijing repeatedly warned that the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan is in a violent breach of three China-U.S. Communiques. 

For the first time Beijing vowed to censure private companies involved in the arms sales to Taiwan by the United States, a measure seen as concrete by experts and demanded by Chinese netizens for a long time.


China said it would impose unspecified sanctions on the companies involved and reduce international cooperation with the US unless it canceled the new arms package.
