China has expressed strong disapproval of the United States latest military aid package to Taiwan, accusing Washington of playing with fire in its dealings with the self-governed island. The U.S. recently announced a new $500 million defense assistance package for Taiwan, which includes advanced weaponry and training. This is the latest in a series of moves by the U.S. to bolster Taiwan defense amid rising tensions with China.

China views Taiwan as a breakaway province and has repeatedly warned the U.S. against interfering in its internal affairs. The Chinese government has stressed that any actions that challenge its territorial integrity will not be tolerated. Beijing sees the U.S. military aid as a direct provocation and a violation of the One-China policy.

The U.S., however, maintains that its support for Taiwan is in line with its commitment to ensuring Taiwan security and stability in the region. Washington argues that the defense assistance is intended to help Taiwan defend itself against any potential aggression from China.

Tensions between the U.S. and China have escalated over the years, with Taiwan at the center of the dispute. Beijing has increasingly conducted military drills near the island, signaling its growing impatience with Taiwan increasing ties with the U.S.

The situation has raised concerns about the potential for military conflict in the Taiwan Strait. Both nations continue to engage in a war of words, with China warning that U.S. actions could lead to unintended consequences.
