The United States has approved the sale of ship parts to Taiwan worth USD 120 million amid the increasing threat of Chinese invasion.China has warned the US against enhancing ties with the democratic island that Beijing regards as its island and threatens to overtake by force.

The proposed sale will contribute to the recipient's goal of maintaining its military capability while further enhancing interoperability with the United States and other allies," the statement said.The recipient will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment and the proposed sale will not alter the basic military balance in the region, the statement said."The equipment will be sourced from approved US Navy vendors and/or US Navy stock. There is no prime contractor. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
