## Trump delays $14 billion in arms sales to Taiwan; US expert fears Xi Jinping may miscalculate: consequences could be worse than the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis

Singleton, an expert at a US think tank, warned that Trump's delay of $14 billion in arms sales to Taiwan could be misread by Beijing as a concession. If arms sales resume later, the consequences could be worse than those of the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis because the Chinese Communist Party's military has grown stronger.

Facts:
- US President Donald Trump has yet to approve an approximately $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan and has publicly described the weapons as a “very good bargaining chip” with China.
- Singleton, senior director of the China program at the US think tank 捍衛民主基金會, warned that Trump may simply want to preserve room for trade negotiations, while Xi Jinping could view the delay in arms sales as a long-term concession by Washington.
- Singleton said that if the US resumes arms sales and Beijing believes Washington has gone back on its word, the consequences could be worse than those of the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis because the PLA's missile, air and naval, and cyberwarfare capabilities are far greater than they were 30 years ago.
- Xi Jinping asked the US to explicitly state its “opposition to Taiwan independence” at the Trump-Xi meeting in Washington in September, but the US did not accept the request.
- Singleton recommended that Trump handle arms sales to Taiwan separately from trade negotiations with China and first approve a smaller arms sale to make the US position clear.
