US Announces $345 Million in Unprecedented Military Aid for Taiwan
US OKs First-Ever Foreign Military Financing Arms Package for Taiwan
“This severely violates the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-U.S. joint communiques,” ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters in Beijing on Thursday. “China deplores and firmly opposes it.”
In explaining the change, two U.S. officials said: “The United States has provided Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to Taiwan for years. FMF simply enables eligible partner nations to purchase U.S. defense articles, services, and training through either FMS or, for a limited number of countries, through the foreign military financing of direct commercial contracts (FMF/DCC) program.” The officials were not authorized to comment publicly and did so on condition of anonymity.
“In the face of increasingly aggressive People’s Republic of China military actions in the (Taiwan) Strait, the United States must move quickly to provide support for Taiwan’s defense,” said Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
When enabling sovereign nations to defend themselves in case their imperialist neighbor decides to make their threats a reality gets you branded a Nazi, then that word has lost all meaning.

Please show me where in this article Taiwan is being provided with nuclear warheads and military personnel. Also, please kindly provide recent sources for the US considering these unnamed south American nations part of their own territory, e.g. by linking official maps. I’m also interested in sources for the US planning invasions to integrate their territory.
If you can’t provide this, then your comparison is hardly appropriate.
I’d also appreciate if you elaborated your first comment by explaining how this is linked to national socialism.
I can’t believe I’m actually actively defending the US, but you tankies are in every geopolitical post here on Lemmy.
