Taiwan’s military

said Taiwan “American weapons waste recycling” rather too far, the United States to sell Taiwan weapons upgrades significant

the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, known as the “old following the 1992 The Bush administration before stepping sell 150 F-16 to Taiwan, the United States the largest arms sales to Taiwan. “

1979 January, in the United States to recognize the” one China “and severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan under the premise , United States formally established diplomatic relations. In diplomatic negotiations, the two sides on U.S. military relations with Taiwan has been unable to reach an agreement. In March, the U.S. Congress passed the “Taiwan Relations Act”, in the form of provisions in domestic legislation to “provide Taiwan with defensive weapons.”

the early 1980s, the Chinese government has repeatedly protested on the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, China and the U.S. government released in August 1982, “Shanghai Communique”, the provisions of the United States shall not be increased arms sales to Taiwan performance, and to gradually reduce the number.

Wu Ge analysis, “signed the” Shanghai Communique “, the United States playing a little trick. And then the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, playing under the banner of domestic law” and the Taiwan Relations Act “than the international agreement.” Shanghai Communique “large, the latter must be subordinated to the former U.S. president Ronald Reagan was the former position, arms sales to mainland China does not seek consent At the same time, China can not promise not to use force against Taiwan to the United States.”

Earlier media quoted a U.S. research agency’s report said: Over the past decade, the United States is the world’s largest arms exporters; while Taiwan is the world’s largest arms importer, the number of weapons purchased in China is 40 times its even more than the total amount of Saudi Arabia after the Gulf War.

consumers as the biggest weapons, Taiwan’s military strength, has been confusing. And “U.S. weapons waste recycling,” saying, like a ghost has been hidden when the Taiwan region.

Zhang Zhaozhong in an interview that the United States to sell Taiwan most of the old platform, destroyers, frigates in the United States are basically retired, but the United States to sell Taiwan’s electronics and precision equipment guided weapons, including air to air missiles, Mark 46 torpedoes, missiles, electronic station systems, communications systems, radar systems are very new.

“Taiwan does have a patchwork of traces of weapons. However, that Taiwan is a U.S. weapons waste recycling, a bit too far.” Wu Ge said.

Wu Ge that has always characterized the arms “with the sale” – and some weapons may not be satisfactory performance, but it does not mean useless.

Wu Ge’s view, “the United States to sell weapons to Taiwan is much room for upgrades.” He pointed out that as the F16A/B upgrade, through the on-board electronic systems and weapons of the transformation, the aircraft’s operational capability can be increased by 4 times. “In today’s trend of information warfare, the United States with particular emphasis on the combat capability, to include Taiwan into this system, but also the genius of the United States.”

“of course can not always be the number of weapons measure of the Chinese mainland and Taiwan’s military strength. military strength does not depend on a few planes, warships can be strong together. “mainland China, who declined to be named Major General asserted:” The Chinese mainland and Taiwan, the gap between military forces increasingly, mainland China at least five years ahead. “

” first air “through the thirty-contained – shopping list of weapons Taiwan

since the 1970s, Taiwan has emphasized that “the air the first” to buy weapons and to implement long-term sixth law, that the Air Force, 3/6, the Navy accounted for 2/6, the Army’s only 1/6, 30 years from the list of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan can also be seen this law.
