Yes, you’re correct. The US has approved a deal to sell $2 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan, including advanced missile defense systems. The deal is part of the US’s commitment to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability. Such sales can be controversial as China views Taiwan as a part of its territory and has previously expressed strong objections to such deals. The Pentagon says the proposed sale will not alter the basic military balance in the region. However, it has the potential to strain US-China relations.
