The United States is pursuing the sale of more than $2bn (€1.8bn) of tanks and weapons to Taiwan, four sources have said, sparking anger from Beijing which is already involved in an escalating trade war with Washington.
An informal notification of the proposed sale has been sent to the US Congress, the four sources said on condition of anonymity.
The potential sale included 108 General Dynamics Corp M1A2 Abrams tanks worth around $2bn as well as anti-tank and anti-aircraft munitions, three of the sources said.
Taiwan has been interested in refreshing its existing US-made battle tank inventory, which includes M60 Patton tanks.
