US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Charles Brown claimed on Friday that the United States is capable of winning a war against China if Beijing "tried to take" Taiwan, but that it would require "all the nation" to do so.

“Yes, I am fully confident in our force,” he said speaking at the Aspen Security Forum.

Defense News reported last week that the United States is nearing the approval of a $2 billion security aid package for the Indo-Pacific region, including a staggering $1.2 billion for Taiwan.

In June, the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency confirmed the State Department's possible sale of  $360 million worth of drones and missiles to Taiwan.

China has repeatedly warned the US to commit to the "One China" policy, which Washington claims it adheres to and that its actions comply with.

The Asian giant also criticized Washington for aiding efforts to promote "Taiwan independence" through military strengthening and declared its opposition to the US interference in Taiwan affairs in any way or under any pretext.

On Wednesday Beijing announced that, in response to the US' continued supply of weapons to Taipei, it suspended important arms control and non-proliferation negotiations with the United States.

Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said that the US actions had "severely damaged the political atmosphere necessary for continued arms control consultations between the two sides."

In light of that, Li said "China has decided to suspend talks with the US on holding a new round of arms control and non-proliferation consultations," adding that "the responsibility for this situation lies entirely with the US," directly accusing Washington for the interruption of discussions.
