Trump delays 25 billion dollar Taiwan arms decision after Xi summit

from Grep News

That posture alone may have already violated a 44-year-old U.S. policy document written specifically to stop Beijing from getting any say in what weapons Washington sells Taipei. One administrative act — whether that 14-billion-dollar package gets formally transmitted to Congress — is now the cleanest signal of whether China just quietly rewrote the rules without signing a single thing.
