Most Read from Bloomberg “China will resolutely respond and take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity,” the Foreign Ministry in Beijing said in a statement late Saturday, following US approval of about $2 billion of military sales to Taiwan. “China urges the US to immediately stop arming Taiwan and immediately stop dangerous actions that undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,” the statement added. The comments came after the State Department said Taiwan’s representative office in the US had requested to buy surface-to-air missile systems with medium-range air defense technology at an estimated cost of $1.16 billion. The department also separately approved Taiwan’s request to buy radar systems and related equipment at a total estimated cost of $828 million. Congress has been notified of the possible sales. Tensions in the strait are elevated after Beijing held military major drills around Taiwan earlier this month. China has pledged to bring the hub for producing advanced chips under its control someday, by force if necessary. The US is the archipelago’s main military backer.
