The United States is set tp sell about 6 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan. This is part of a deal made between the United States and Taiwan during the Bush administration in 2001.
The Chinese will obviously resist the deal because thay have been building a masive military for years. In addition they really want to annex Taiwan and have been using threats to invade if Taiwan tries to declare their independance.
Those of you custom military ring customers who have been following this blog may remember several posts that I have made warning that we should keep an eye on China. Well I still maintain that we should keep a watchful eye on the Chinese. They have been beefing up their forces for quite awhile. In my humble opinion the Taiwanese have every right to arm themselves especially in the face of the threats that the Chinese have made.
This move also shows the Chinese that we are not concerned with their sword rattling. Some say that it won’t help US and cinese relations, but backing down from them won’t help us either.
