The United States has ignored the warning Beijing not to interfere in China's internal Affairs approved the supply of weapons to Taiwan of $ 1.1 billion. Permission was given to the American state Department.
The US state Department has approved the allocation of the Taipei military aid in the amount of 1.1 billion dollars, which is the largest military deal between the US and Taiwan in the administration of Joe Biden. As previously reported, the package will include Harpoon anti-ship missiles, aircraft Sidewinder guided missiles and anti-aircraft weapons, including missile warning system launches.
In Washington, the decision explained by the need to maintain "sufficient capacity" of the defense of Taiwan, while emphasizing that the United States adheres to the policy of "one China" and this deal not contradict her. A state Department spokesman, Ned Price, said that the United States shall provide Taiwan with the necessary goods and services for defense according to the "Law about the relationship". In Beijing this act was called "unilateral" and said the Americans violation of international law.
However, as practice has shown, the U.S. will continue to provide military assistance to Taipei, despite protests from China. Washington is now the prevailing view that China is limited to threats and to exacerbate the conflict will not go. All performances, including military exercises near the island, was more of a demonstration than actually threatening.
In fact, Taiwan, encouraged by the support of the United States, increasingly began to face in the direction of mainland China and even use weapons against Chinese drone, which it is not allowed. In Taipei I hope that the supply of American weapons will help you to eliminate the threat of a military invasion of Beijing, and in the case of escalation of the military conflict, the United States will stand on the side of the island.
