💨 Abstract
President Joe Biden has approved $567 million in defense aid for Taiwan, further strengthening the island's military in response to rising tensions with China. The U.S. is Taiwan's primary international backer and arms supplier, despite lacking formal diplomatic ties. China has consistently asked Washington to halt weapons sales to Taiwan, which it considers its own territory. The announcement came with no additional details, and Taiwan has previously complained about delayed U.S.
