US assesses reduced China-Taiwan tension while approving major arms sale to Taiwan

U.S. intelligence has concluded that China has no plan to invade Taiwan in 2027 and has observed reduced Chinese military flights near Taiwan, indicating potential de-escalation. Concurrently, the U.S. has approved a significant arms transfer to Taiwan, with Taiwan's parliament approving the major arms deal. These developments reflect a dual approach of diplomatic assessment and continued military support for Taiwan's defense capabilities.
