Cogs of fate turning for Taiwan secessionists: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

In the latest move in support of the pro-independence forces in Taiwan, the Joe Biden administration has approved a new $360 million weapons sale to the island, which includes armed drones, missile equipment and related support material. That this is the 15th time the Biden administration has approved an arms sale to the island belies its promise to Beijing that the US does not support "Taiwan independence". The deal "serves US national, economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient's continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and to maintain a credible defensive capability", said the US Department of State in a statement, adding that it will "help improve the security of the recipient and assist in maintaining political stability, military balance, and economic progress in the region". The thank-you note Taiwan administration chief Lai Ching-te, a "pragmatic worker for Taiwan independence", sent to Washington the moment the arms sale was approved confirmed the evil intent of the US' move.
