The US government has notified Congress of plans to supply Taiwan with arms worth more
than $6bn (£3.4bn).
The sales include advanced interceptor missiles, Apache helicopters and submarine-launched missiles.
Correspondents say the decision is likely to anger China, which regards Taiwan as its territory and
opposes US military support of the island. The move could also complicate efforts to get North Korea,
an ally of Beijing, to end its nuclear programme.The US Defence Security Co-operation Agency
(DSCA) said the sales would "help improve the security of the recipient and assist in maintaining
political stability, military balance and economic progress in the region". DSCA said the deal would
not alter the military balance in the region but was "a demonstration of the commitment of this
administration to provide Taiwan the defensive arms its needs to be strong". Congress members have
30 days to submit comments or objections about the proposed sale.
