Taiwan Points to Authoritarian Alignment Following N. Korean Remarks – TaiwanPlus

Taiwan's foreign ministry has warned of an increasing alignment of authoritarian states. This follows remarks from North Korean state media, which criticized US arms sales to Taiwan following last week's delivery of two US F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan. Pyongyang has also supported China's claims to Taiwan. Taiwan countered that it is an independent, democratic nation, and its defense partnership with the US upholds peace and stability in the region.
