Obama ignores China warning, will announce new arms sale to Taiwan


The Obama administration notified US Congress Tuesday that it has decided to sell a new package of arms to Taiwan, reported the Associated Press.

The sale will include Black Hawk helicopters, Patriot missiles, and some communication materials. But F-16 fighters are unlikely to be included in the arms sale.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu warned in a news conference Tuesday that the arms sale would “impair the larger interests of China-US cooperation.”

“Once again, we urge the US side to recognize the sensitivity of weapon sales to Taiwan and its gravity,” Ma said.
