1:45Now PlayingChina has suspended nuclear nonproliferation and arms control talks with the United States in response to US weapons sales to Taiwan, according to Chinese official spokesmen.
The United States and China resumed semi-official nuclear arms discussions in March for the first time in five years.
Last year, US President Joe Biden signed off on a $80m (£64.6m) grant to Taiwan for the purchase of American military equipment, via a programme called foreign military finance (FMF).
