The United States will provide $428 million in spare parts to Taiwan’s overstressed air force.

The United States will provide $428 million in spare parts to Taiwan’s overstressed air force. The move comes after China’s air force announced a major expansion and modernization program.

The spare parts will help keep Taiwan’s F-16 fighters in the air and are seen as a sign of continued U.S. support for the island nation. Taiwan has been a major purchaser of American arms in recent years, and the U.S. has been its main supplier.

The move is likely to anger China, which considers Taiwan a breakaway province. Beijing has warned the U.S. not to sell arms to Taiwan. But the Trump administration has been increasing its support for the island, including selling it $1.4 billion in weapons last year.

The U.S. has been providing Taiwan with military support since the 1970s, when it switched its recognition from Taipei to Beijing. The move is seen as a way to maintain stability in the region and to counter China’s growing military power.
