In a statement on Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the US arms sale to Taiwan sends a wrong signal to the island's Taiwan independence forces and undermines US-China relations.
The ministry added it firmly opposes any official exchanges between the US and Taiwan. China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and the most important issue in its relations with Washington, strongly dislikes Lai, calling him a separatist.
During Lai's transit in Hawaii, he visited the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbour, during which he said the US and Taiwan should fight together to prevent war. Peace is priceless, and war has no winners.
