Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen says she is happy that Congress has approved a new support package for Taiwan. China expresses dissatisfaction with the package.
The United States is Taiwan’s main international supporter and arms supplier, although it does not have formal diplomatic relations. China considers Taiwan to be Chinese territory and has repeatedly asked the US to stop aid.
The support for Taiwan is part of a large package of 95 billion dollars of security assistance to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and US allies in the Pacific.
– We are very happy that the Senate has approved these proposals, Tsai said when she received American elected representatives at the presidential office in the island’s capital, Taipei, on Wednesday.
China’s Taiwan Affairs Office expresses anger with aid package. They say it “sends the wrong signal to Taiwanese separatist forces” and that they strongly oppose it, according to spokesman Zhu Fenglian.
