The Spin

The arms sale to Taiwan is crucial for maintaining regional stability and bolstering the island's self-defense capabilities in the face of China's threats. The US is merely fulfilling its legal obligation to support Taiwan's security.

ap National Review

This arms package is a blatant violation of China's sovereignty and a dangerous move that undermines peace and stability in the Strait. The US is meddling in China's internal affairs and encouraging separatist forces in Taiwan.
