China angered and Taiwan cheered by new US defence act

China expressed 'strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition' regarding the Act.

China, which considers democratically governed Taiwan its own territory, expressed"strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" regarding the US National Defense Authorization Act, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

China has never renounced using force to bring Taiwan under its control. Taiwan strongly disputes China's sovereignty claims, saying only the island's 23 million people can decide their future. Taipei will discuss the details of the act with Washington and"gradually push forward the budget formulation and actual disbursement of the various Taiwan-friendly provisions", the ministry said, without elaborating.

Taiwan's military is dwarfed by that of its huge neighbour China. Its air force in particular has come under strain from having to scramble repeatedly to see off Chinese incursions near the island over the past three years or so.
