China blasts US arms sale to Taiwan, President Lai’s U.S. transit
In an escalating standoff, China vehemently condemned the United States’ decision to proceed with an arms deal with Taiwan. Beijing sees the move as a blatant violation of the “One China” policy.
Meanwhile, tensions soared as Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te transited through the United States, defying China’s warnings. This unprecedented maneuver stirred diplomatic unrest, with China denouncing it as a “provocation.”
Beijing’s response has been resolute, vowing countermeasures against both Washington and Taipei. These mounting tensions pose a significant challenge to cross-strait relations and stability in the broader Asia-Pacific region.
