China Condemns U.S. Military Aid and Arms Sales to Taiwan

Beijing warns Washington of severe consequences, calling Taiwan a 'red line' in U.S.-China relations.

The U.S. announced $571.3 million in military aid and approved $295 million in arms sales to Taiwan, sparking strong objections from China.
China's Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. of violating the one-China principle and sending a 'gravely wrong signal' to Taiwan independence advocates.
Beijing has lodged formal protests, warning that aiding Taiwan's defense is akin to 'playing with fire' and threatens peace in the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan expressed gratitude for the U.S. support, emphasizing its importance for self-defense and regional stability in the Indo-Pacific.
Tensions in the region remain high as China continues military drills near Taiwan, while vowing to take 'all necessary measures' to defend its sovereignty.
