The Biden administration sent formal notifications to the US Congress on Friday of the intent to sell radars, anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles to Taiwan.

The total value of the equipment and maintenance contracts adds up to just over $1.1 billion.

This is the fifth – and the largest so far – weapons package for Taiwan approved by the current US government.

    I thought Taiwan was a part of China but NOT the PRC?

      Unless I’m misunderstanding some terminology, “China” includes the mainland as well as various partially autonomous regions like Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and the PRC is the legitimate government of China according to themselves and almost every other country. The government on Taiwan claims that they (“ROC”) are the legitimate government of all of China (and some additional territory, IIRC), which is obviously BS
