The US has okay selling guided missile warships to Taiwan. The US House Committee on Foreign Affairs unanimously agreed on Wednesday to introduce legislation that will clear the way for the US to sell Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates to Taiwan.

In response, China has expressed its "strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition."

"China resolutely opposes arms sales to Taiwan from any country. Our position is clear and consistent. We urge some people in the American congress to abandon their cold war mentality, abide by the one China policy and the three China-US joint communiques. They should abide by the spirit of building a new model of China-US major power relations, stop promoting arms sales to Taiwan, and do more to contribute to the healthy development of China-US relations and the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, not the opposite." Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.
