The $330 million request covers spare parts for "F-16, C-130, F-5, Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF), all other aircraft systems and subsystems, and other related elements of logistics and program support," the Pentagon said, adding that it notified Congress of the possible sale. Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) makes the F-16.

The Pentagon said the proposed sale is required to maintain Taiwan’s "defensive and aerial fleet," and would not alter the military balance in the region.

Chinese defense ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang: China "strongly" urged the US to honor "One China" principle and immediately revoke its sales of military hardware to Taiwan, saying that U.S. arms sales to Taiwan were a serious breech of international law and harmed Chinese sovereignty and security interests.
