US ups the ante in dirty game but should be forewarned

Not content with violating the one-China principle, the United States has launched what could be called a frontal assault on China's sovereignty, which in no way will be tolerated.

US officials have arranged for a delegation of 25 arms dealers to visit Taiwan from Tuesday apparently to explore the possibility of manufacturing weapons, mainly drones and ammunition, on the island, ostensibly to support its secessionist-minded leader Tsai Ing-wen's pro-independence agenda.

The roster of speakers and moderators from the Taiwan side that took part in the so-called Taiwan-US Defense Industry Forum in Taipei on Wednesday testifies to that.
