U.S. Approves $567M Military Aid for Taiwan

News summary

U.S. President Joe Biden has authorized a $567 million military aid package for Taiwan, aiming to bolster the island's defense capabilities amid rising tensions with China. The package includes military equipment, education, and training, and follows the recent arrival of U.S.-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles in Taiwan. China's government has strongly condemned the move, citing violations of the one-China principle and warning that it exacerbates tensions across the Taiwan Strait. Despite Beijing's protests, the U.S. continues to support Taiwan as part of a broader strategy to counteract China's influence in the region. This aid is part of a larger security assistance package that also includes support for Ukraine and Israel. Taiwan has been on high alert due to recent military activities by China, including test missile firings inland.
