Taiwan said on Friday it would buy up to 20 military helicopters from a European manufacturer less than a week after Washington angered Beijing by proposing a $6.4 billion arms deal for the island.
Beijing's initial response was mild. "We understand these are rescue helicopters. We will continue to monitor the situation, especially the use of the planes," the Foreign Ministry said in a brief statement.
