What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

China maintains that it views Taiwan as its own territory and has repeatedly called for arms sales to stop against this view. Taiwan's top diplomat stated that the island needed to purchase American weapons to ensure its self-defense against growing threats from China. The U.S. is reportedly bound by law to provide democratically-governed Taiwan with the means to defend itself.
