Shall US sell weapon to Taiwan to allow Taiwan to defend itself in case of attack from China ?Should the US sell arms to Taiwan?
China has reacted angrily to a US proposal to sell $6.4bn of arms to Taiwan. What is your reaction?
Beijing is threatening to suspend military exchanges with the US, review co-operation on major issues and impose sanctions.
The US defended the sale, saying it would "maintain security and stability in the Taiwan Strait", while Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou said it would let Taiwan "feel more confident and secure."
The BBC's Damian Grammaticas says China could "make life difficult for Washington" by withdrawing its co-operation over North Korea, currency and trade issues.
What do you think of the arms deal? What impact would it have on relations between the US, China and Taiwan? Are you in Taiwan or China? Do you think the deal should go ahead?
