China vows to take ‘countermeasures’ over US and Taiwan $2bn arms deal
GuardianNOV 2024
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.
This arms package is a blatant violation of China's sovereignty and a dangerous move that undermines peace and stability in the region. The US is meddling in China's internal affairs, and encouraging separatist forces in Taiwan, and not abiding by the one-China policy.
There's a 34% chance that the People's Republic of China will control at least half of Taiwan before Jan. 1, 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
