BEIJING - China on Thursday urged the United States to honor its commitments and stop selling arms to Taiwan.
Qin's comments came after US Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein said on Wednesday that US arms sales to Taiwan were hurting closer ties with China.
China curtailed some military exchanges with the United States following the Pentagon's decision in January to sell an arms package worth about $6.4 billion to Taiwan, including Patriot missiles, Black Hawk helicopters and minesweepers.
Qin urged the United States to take concrete steps to improve and develop China-US ties.
