"Biden's Unprecedented Military Aid to Taiwan Raises Eyebrows"

TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has approved a military transfer to Taiwan worth up to $80 million under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, typically used for sovereign states. The aid aims to strengthen Taiwan's self-defense capabilities and enhance maritime security. Taiwan's defense ministry expressed gratitude, while China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory, has repeatedly complained about such military aid. The United States, Taiwan's main arms supplier, recently announced a weapons aid package worth up to $345 million and approved a possible $500 million sale of equipment to Taiwan.
