China Promises “Countermeasures” In Response To US Arms Sales To Taiwan

China condemned the U.S. for its $2 billion arms sale package to Taiwan, vowing to take “countermeasures” to protect its sovereignty. The Pentagon’s approval includes the first delivery of an advanced air defense missile system to Taiwan. China’s foreign ministry called the sales a dangerous move that threatens peace in the Taiwan Strait and urged the U.S. to halt military support.
