China's "resolutely opposes" the inclusion of what it called "Taiwan-related content" in a four-bill package passed by the U.S. Congress that included providing military aid to Taipei, its Taiwan Affairs Office said on Wednesday. China urged the U.S. to fulfil its commitment to not support "Taiwan independence" with concrete actions, and stop arming Taiwan in any way, its spokesperson said.

Late on Tuesday, the U.S. Congress passed a legislative package providing security assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Taiwan's military said on Sunday it will discuss with the U.S. how to use funding for Taipei included in the $95 billion legislative package as Chinese warplanes again manoeuvred close to the island.
