China has cancelled military and diplomatic exchanges with the US in protest at a $6.5bn deal to supply Taiwan with arms, US officials say.
A number of senior level visits and military-to-military exchanges due before November would not go ahead, the US defence department said.
The sales include advanced interceptor missiles, Apache helicopters and submarine-launched missiles.
China regards Taiwan as its territory and opposes US military support.
China will also not participate in an exchange on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
"It's an unfortunate step," said US state department deputy spokesman Robert Wood.
