The U.S. has cleared a possible $120 million sale of parts to assist Taiwan in maintaining its warships, which the island's defense ministry said would help assure combat readiness in the face of China's "frequent activities" near the island, Reuters reported.
The U. S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency stated that it had submitted the requisite certification to Congress following State Department approval for the sale, which was requested by Taiwan's de facto embassy in Washington.
