The United States sells billions of weapons to Taiwan

Washington The government of US President Joe Biden is justifying the new deliveries by increasing pressure from China on the DPRK, for example with an increased military presence in the air and at sea. That’s why the United States is providing Taiwan with what the island needs for self-defense, CNN quoted a statement from a White House counselor as saying. The American magazine “Politico” initially published about the package.

China considers the democratically governed island to be part of the People’s Republic of China. On the other hand, Taiwan considers itself an independent country. The United States recently accused Beijing of making a “clear attempt” to permanently change the status quo through its maneuvers around Taiwan. “We have made it clear publicly that changing the status quo is unacceptable — and that we will not acknowledge it,” said John Kirby, director of communications for the National Security Council.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in early August raised serious tensions with China. Beijing began large-scale maneuvers. A naval and air blockade and possible invasion were exercised. However, other delegations with American politicians traveled to Taiwan shortly thereafter. A Bundestag delegation would also like to go there this fall.
