Washington can't rupture peace in Asia-Pacific

The United States' efforts to promote so-called democracy across the world by creating divisions among countries are heightening tensions in the Asia-Pacific region. And its ambiguous stance on the Taiwan question — despite saying it acknowledges the "one-China policy", it continues to sell weapons to the Chinese island — is a ploy to maintain its hegemony.

As a matter of fact, Michael McCaul, Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, recently said the US will provide weapons for Taiwan, and will ensure their delivery. He also said Congress is working to expedite the latest sales.

This is not only an attempt to further raise the already high tensions in the region but also a direct interference in China's internal affairs.
