US legislator tells Taiwan its weapons are coming
Taipei | A senior US legislator visiting Taipei said on Monday that weapons Taiwan had ordered were finally on their way, and that China’s “intimidating” war games last week underscored the need to boost the island’s deterrence abilities.
China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control. Taiwan’s government rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims.
