China's top diplomat blasts US arms sale to Taiwan as military drills unfold
China slams $11B US arms sale to Taiwan while conducting military drills
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on December 30, 2025, condemned a record $11 billion US arms sale to Taiwan as Beijing conducted military drills around the island. The package includes missiles, drones, artillery systems, and military software. Wang criticized the 'pro-independence forces in Taiwan' and Japan's leaders, accusing them of challenging China's territorial sovereignty. China launched two days of military exercises around Taiwan beginning December 29, 2025, in response to the US sale and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks about potential military intervention. The US is obligated by law to provide Taiwan with defense means, with President Trump pushing Taiwan to spend up to 10% of its GDP on defense.
