China will take appropriate and necessary measures to firmly safeguard its national sovereignty and security interests.

Beijing has promised to retaliate after Washington approved yet another deal to sell US-made weapons to Taiwan. China already sanctioned Boeing and Lockheed Martin due to arms trading with Taipei earlier this week.
