Taiwan anunță că va continua achizițiile de arme din SUA. China se opune ferm

Taiwan will maintain close ties with the U.S. to ensure the implementation of arms sales contracts, as stated by a Taipei defense official. This announcement precedes a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, where arms deliveries to Taiwan are expected to be discussed. Taiwan's Deputy Defense Spokesman Chiao Fu-chun emphasized the importance of security in the Indo-Pacific region and noted U.S. support for Taiwan's defense capabilities. The U.S. is Taiwan's main arms supplier, and Taiwan is developing its own military systems. Recent military exercises showcased new domestic armored vehicles and U.S.-made weaponry. The Taiwan-China dispute remains a significant source of tension in U.S.-China relations, with arms sales being a contentious issue.
