“The Obama administration formally notified Congress on Wednesday of a $1.83-billion arms sale package for Taiwan, including two frigates, anti-tank missiles, amphibious assault vehicles and other equipment, drawing an angry response from China.  The authorization, which Reuters on Monday reported was imminent, came a year after Congress passed legislation approving the sale. It is the first such major arms sale to Taiwan in more than four years.  The White House said there was no change in the longstanding U.S. ‘one China’ policy.  Past U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan have attracted strong condemnation in China, which considers Taiwan a renegade province.”
