Let's hope that this military exchange suspension by China is not a harbinger of a greater military exchange between China and the United States. China has repeatedly said that it is willing to go to war over Taiwan. Considering the level of American debt that China currently holds, I cannot imagine China going to war with the United States unless it prefers to claim American assets militarily as opposed to getting paid by the U.S. taxpayers for a very long time.
China on Saturday decided to suspend scheduled visits between the Chinese and U.S. armed forces, in response to Washington's plan to sell a package of arms worth about 6.4 billion U.S. dollars to Taiwan.
"We made the decision out of considerations on the severe harm of the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan," said Defense Ministry spokesman Huang Xueping in a statement.
Please note that this is coming from a Chinese news agency, so there is likely some propaganda embedded within the text, words and margins. Take the information for what it is.
