Good. China has enough slaves. It doesn't need more.

One-China? Yeah, mainland china and thats it! No Hong Kong and no Taiwan for Winnie the Poo!

Cry harder Xi, you can whine all you want but Taiwan is independent and always will be. Nobody wants to be a part of your genocidal authoritarian regime.

I can't believe people in this thread are actually advocating for more weaponisation and war. However, even if something does spark, it will be the west that suffers. How will the US get all if their fancy phones when TSMC foundries get flattened?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has approved the first-ever U.S. military transfer to Taiwan under a program generally reserved for assistance to sovereign, independent states.

Beijing, which regards Taiwan as a renegade province, has repeatedly refused to rule out the use of force to reunite it with the mainland and vociferously protests all U.S. arms sales to the self-governing island.

China’s foreign ministry immediately lashed out at the move, calling it a violation of U.S. commitments under its “one-China” policy and a number of subsequent agreements in which Washington pledged not to support Taiwanese independence.

FMF simply enables eligible partner nations to purchase U.S. defense articles, services, and training through either FMS or, for a limited number of countries, through the foreign military financing of direct commercial contracts (FMF/DCC) program.” The officials were not authorized to comment publicly and did so on condition of anonymity.

The notification, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, did not specify what military equipment or systems would be paid for under FMF, which commits U.S. taxpayer dollars to pay for the supply of materiel to foreign countries.

“These weapons will not only help Taiwan and protect other democracies in the region, but also strengthen the U.S. deterrence posture and ensure our national security from an increasingly aggressive CCP,” he said in a statement, referring to the Chinese Communist Party.

The original article contains 628 words, the summary contains 229 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

One-China my ass, if West Taiwan wants to stay independent they should stop fiddling with the sovereignty of other countries.

Please do not overinterpret this move.

Yeah, Boi! HIMARs for everyone! Imagine making a landing on a beachhead with 180,000 tungsten balls raining down on you, lmao. Fawk no, son!
