Full Story at  CNN.com

Washington (CNN) — Overriding objections from China, the Obama administration unveiled a $6.4 billion arms deal with Taiwan on Friday — including about $2.85 billion in missiles.

The sale includes 60 Black Hawk helicopters (totaling $3.1 billion), 114 advanced Patriot air defense missiles; a pair of Osprey mine-hunting ships; and dozens of advanced communications systems.

China has complained to the United States about the sale of Patriot missiles and other weapons to Taiwan, which neither Beijing nor Washington recognize as a sovereign nation.
