China’s defense ministry has announced plans to enhance military training and implement forceful measures in response to the United States’ recent $11.1 billion arms sales package to Taiwan, the largest ever from the U.S. to the island, which Beijing claims as its territory. The ministry criticized the U.S. for allegedly supporting Taiwan’s independence and stated that continued arms sales would lead to greater tensions and repercussions. China has called for the U.S. to halt these sales while asserting its determination to safeguard national sovereignty and combat perceived separatism. This development highlights the escalating military and political tensions in the Taiwan Strait, raising concerns about regional stability and the potential for conflict stemming from U.S.-China relations.
