China blasts US arms sale to Taiwan, President Lai's US transit
China vowed 'resolute countermeasures' on Sunday to a recently approved US arms sale to Taiwan, and complained to the US for arranging for the democratically governed island's president to transit through US territory.
The US State Department approved the potential sale, worth an estimated $385 million, of spare parts and support for F-16 jets and radars to Taiwan, the Pentagon said on Friday.
