The United States has once again promoted the Taiwan-related bill, which plans to allocate $2 billion per year to fund arms sales to Taiwan
The U.S. Republican Party plans to push another Taiwan-related bill, known as the Taiwan Deterrence Act, which seeks to allocate $2 billion a year to help Taiwan buy armaments from the United States until 2032, in order to strengthen Taiwan's defense capabilities and counter pressure from the mainland. The bill also proposes to amend the current arms sales regulations to make it easier for US military enterprises to export weapons to Taiwan, require the US government to assess Taiwan's military strength against the mainland every year, and enhance US-Taiwan military exchanges and increase Taiwan military personnel to train in the United States. The bill also attaches conditions to the taiwan authorities to promote military reform and strengthen their ability to deal with the mainland. In view of the continued arms sales by the United States to Taiwan, the Chinese side has repeatedly expressed its resolute opposition to the US side and lodged solemn representations, pointing out that US arms sales to Taiwan interfere in China's internal affairs, violate the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, send the wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and seriously damage Sino-US relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
