China Hits Back at US Over Taiwan Weapons Sale

BBC: China has announced a series of moves against the US in retaliation for a proposed weapons sale to Taiwan worth $6.4bn.

Beijing said it would suspend military exchanges with the US, review co-operation on major issues and impose sanctions on companies selling arms.

Ties are already strained by rows over trade and internet censorship.

Taiwan’s president welcomed the sale, saying it would make his country “more confident and secure”.
