, 5 news, a view

China said Sunday it "firmly opposed" US President Joe Biden's approval of $571.3 million in defence assistance for Taiwan.

The White House said Friday that Biden had authorised the drawdown "of up to $571.3 million in defence articles and services of the Department of Defense, and military education and training, to provide assistance to Taiwan".

The White House statement did not provide details of the military assistance package, which comes less than three months after one worth $567 million was authorised.
