The United States has approved a landmark arms package for Taiwan, valued at approximately $11.1 billion, marking the largest military sale to the island amidst escalating tensions with China. This package, which includes advanced weaponry such as High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), self-propelled howitzers, and Javelin anti-tank missiles, is designed to enhance Taiwan’s asymmetric warfare capabilities and bolster its defense against increasing military pressure from Beijing. The deal is currently undergoing the Congressional notification process, where it is anticipated to receive broad bipartisan support, reflecting a strategic commitment to regional stability. From an Indian perspective, this development reinforces the military balance in the Indo-Pacific, deterring Chinese expansionism that poses threats to regional security and vital maritime routes, while simultaneously underscoring the shared resolve among QUAD partners to counter aggressive actions in the Taiwan Strait.
