The relations between the US and China have worsened significantly over the last weekend. As a response to the US plans to sell a large batch of arms to Taiwan that Beijing considers a part of its territory, China threatened to introduce sanctions against a number of US companies. China also suspended military exchanges with the US.
The scandal erupted on January 29, when the United States of America announced the planned arms sales to Taiwan, the largest arms deal in history of the two countries. The US plans to sell Taiwan Patriot Advanced Capability-3, Black Hawk helicopters and equipment for protection of the island’s communication systems. The deal is worth $6.4 million. In the future, Taiwan may spend another $0.5 billion on spare parts.
The agreement regarding this deal was reached back in October 2008 under Bush administration. China was angry because it considers the Taiwan government separatist, and all deals made with it unlawful. Beijing froze the military dialogue with the US in 2008, but it was resumed in the beginning of 2009 when new administration took office in Washington.
