MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Friday the West was applying blatant pressure on China over Taiwan and its "provocative" actions undermined regional stability and international security.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters that Moscow supported Chinese actions to defend its sovereignty.
China's defence ministry said on Friday that U.S. arms sales to Taiwan had seriously violated China's "One China Principle" and provisions of joint communiques between China and the U.S.
China on Wednesday announced steps against nine U.S. military-linked firms over U.S. weapon sales to Taiwan.
