Escalating Tensions Between US and China Over Taiwan Arms Sales
Amid rising geopolitical tensions, the United States has approved a significant arms sale to Taiwan, amounting to approximately $385 million. This decision includes military support and spare parts for F-16 fighter jets, as Taiwan seeks to bolster its defense capabilities in light of increasing military pressure from China. The Chinese government has condemned the arms sale, labeling it provocative and has vowed to take strong countermeasures in response. China’s Foreign Ministry has lodged solemn protests against the US actions, urging the halt of military support to Taiwan. The ongoing conflict between China and Taiwan continues to escalate amid these developments, with both sides maintaining their positions on sovereignty and territorial integrity.
