Freeze In Sino US Defence Relations

Plans of the United States to sell 6.4 billion dollars weapons to Taiwan has placed Sino US Defence relations in suspension as China complained about the arms deal summoning defence attaché in Beijing to the defence ministry. The package of arms approved by the US includes Patriot missiles, Black Hawk helicopters, and communications equipment for Taiwan's F-16 fleet. Deputy foreign minister He Yafei had warned in a statement earlier that the arms deal was “bound to damage Sino-US relations, bringing about serious negative impact on exchange and cooperation in major areas between the two countries, causing results that both sides do not want to see”.
