White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Monday that China’s threat to impose sanctions on US companies manufacturing weapons systems for sale to Taiwan was “not warranted.”

Analysts said the unusually blunt reaction from Gibbs reflected a new policy by US President Barack Obama to “push back” against what is seen as overly antagonistic actions by Beijing whenever the US does something it doesn’t like.

The Taiwan Environmental Protection Union yesterday criticized the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) question for a proposed referendum on halting the construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, saying the text showed that the party was exploiting the shortcomings of the Referendum Act (公民投票法) to ensure construction continues.

The wording of the proposal, which was unveiled on Thursday, says: “Do you agree that the construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant should be halted and that it not become operational?” (你是否同意核四廠停止興建不得運轉).
