China condemned the US's $11 billion arms deal with Taiwan, which includes advanced military equipment aimed at enhancing Taiwan's asymmetric warfare capabilities. This package, featuring High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and various munitions, is designed to increase Taiwan's defense against potential Chinese invasion by enabling rapid, dispersed strike capabilities.
