North Korea warns US and calls on Washington to 'think twice'

North Korea has criticized the United States for arms sales and military support to Taiwan, accusing Washington of escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait. This was reported by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

“No matter what methods Taiwanese separatist forces use or what support the United States provides to Taiwan, it will not change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, nor will it shake the international community’s fundamental acceptance of the ‘one China’ principle,” the publication said.

According to the agency, the United States "should think twice before entering into direct confrontation with a powerful power - the People's Republic of China - for the sake of the security of Taiwan, and whether Washington can cope with the consequences of this confrontation."
