Beijing is urging the United States to stop arms sales and sever⁷ military ties with Taiwan.

Foreign Ministry⁸ spokesperson Zhao Lijian made the remarks following reports that President Donald Trump's administration is planning to move forward with three arms sales packages to the island.

"The U.S. arms sales to Taiwan seriously violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint⁹ communiques, especially the August 17 Communique, grossly interfere¹⁰ in China's internal affairs, and severely¹¹ undermine China's sovereignty and security interests. China firmly opposes such conducts."

Zhao is also calling on the U.S. to fully¹² recognize the harm of such sales.

He adds that China will make necessary responses in light of the development of the situation.

"In 2021, growth is projected to rebound to 5.2%, slightly below our June projection¹⁷. Now, except for China, where output is expected to exceed 2019 levels this year, output in both advanced economies and emerging and developing economies are projected to stay below 2019 levels well into 2021."

The chief economist also says 12 trillion U.S. dollars in fiscal¹⁸ support and unprecedented¹⁹ monetary easing from governments and central banks have helped to limit the damage from the pandemic and the support must be maintained.

U.S. pharmaceutical²⁰ company Johnson & Johnson says its COVID-19 vaccine²¹ trial has just been paused.

The patient's condition is being reviewed and evaluated.

The phase three clinical trial for Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine began last month, the fourth large-scale test of its kind in the U.S.

It's designed to evaluate whether the single-dose candidate can prevent the novel coronavirus, as other vaccine candidates in the country require two shots.

About 60-thousand volunteers are supposed to get the single shot.

赵立坚还敦促美方充分认清美国售台武器的严重危害性。
