US-Taiwan Arms Sale: China's Reaction

Tensions are heating up between China and the United States over a recent arms deal. The US decided to send $2 billion worth of advanced weaponry to Taiwan, which has not gone down well with China. Among the items are top-of-the-line missile systems meant to strengthen Taiwan’s air defense capabilities. China sees this as a threat and has been showing its displeasure with increased military activities around Taiwan, including large-scale exercises and frequent flights.Taiwan, on the other hand, welcomes these new weapons. They believe these will help them better face China’s military displays. The US has been supporting Taiwan for years as part of a broader geopolitical strategy. It’s not clear what China’s countermeasures will be, but they’ve strongly opposed the sale, claiming it disturbs their security.
