Taiwan will receive important weapons from the US sooner than expected
An extra 18 high-mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS) will be delivered to Taiwan earlier than expected. Specifically, the rocket systems will be delivered in 2026 instead of 2027 and 2028 as initially committed by the US.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the sanctions imposed on American defense companies and officials are the result of slander and unilateral sanctions by the United States against Beijing. China recommends that Washington admit its guilt in creating the Ukrainian crisis. As for the Taiwan issue, the U.S. must understand: by crossing the red line, they will pay a high price.
