China's claims over Taiwan: USA approves $100MN deal to upgrade Patriot missiles

The U.S. has approved a $100MN support contract with Taiwan aimed at boosting missile defence systems. The possible sale of equipment and services will help 'maintain and improve' Patriot missile defence system. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson slammed the U.S., asking for the possible plan of arms sales to be revoked. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province, but an overwhelming number of Taiwanese feel they have a separate nation.
