The United State is offering USD 345 million worth of aid to Taiwan in a step that may aggravate jitters between the US and China that considers Taiwan as part of the Chinese territories.
The White House said in a statement late on Friday that President Joe Biden designated Secretary of State Antony Blinken to take necessary measures for earmarking USD 345 million to support Taiwan in the educational and military training sectors.
The renewed support is eyed as a move against China’s bids to affirm influence on Taiwan and the surrounding Asian regions.
