The administration of President Joe Biden has approved its first arms sale to Taiwan, a move that’s sure to draw criticism from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which considers the island nation a breakaway province.
The State Department approved the sale of $750 million worth of military equipment to Taiwan on Aug. 4, triggering a 30-day window for Congress to approve the transaction. The approved purchase included 40 self-propelled howitzers, 20 field artillery ammunition support vehicles, and other equipment.
