U.S. House votes to sell 66 new fighter jets to Taiwan

Washington, May 18 (CNA) The U.S. House of Representatives voted Friday in favor of the government selling 66 new fighter-jets to Taiwan to help the island close its military gap with China.
The House of Representatives voted late Thursday to press President Barack Obama’s administration to authorize the sale of F-16 C/D jets as part of a slew of amendments to the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.
The proposal, sponsored mainly by Representative Kay Granger (R-TX), still requires approval by the Senate.
It will be submitted to the Senate along with the Taiwan Airpower Modernization Act sponsored by Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), which seeks to mandate that the U.S. government sell at least 66 F-16 C/Ds to Taiwan.
“The sale of F-16s to Taiwan ensures our key strategic ally in the Pacific has the defense capacity to defend its own airspace,” Granger said in a statement Friday.
“Our support for a democratic Taiwan is consistent with our national security priorities in the region and demonstrates that we will continue to stand by our friends and allies no matter who or where the threats are from,” she said.

By doing these kind of Stupid dumb tactics America in fact is putting last nail in its coffin what the hell they think if China wants to attack Taiwan they will be scared of 66 F-16s they will just ruin Taiwan

 

[fatman17]

they need to keep the production line going for as long as they can as the F-35 still has issues.....

 

[Raphael]

F-16s? Such parsimony from Uncle Sam. They might as well have just given them a fleet of kites with "go away" painted on. When are they gonna give the RoC some real toys like the F-22?

 

[Battle of Bach Dang River]

US still wants to sell the modern military equipments to Taiwan, but they were concerned not because of China, but because they are afraid that the modern military equipments such as F-16 will be move to China, disassemble, disassemble, disassemble...

 

[Kompromat]

These F-16s are barely a threat to Chinese air force , this deal is more about throwing Taiwanese Govt a bone to stop their inclination towards Beijing cousins which US can't afford to have.

 

[Fanling Monk]

As former president Bill Clinton once said: " It's the economy, stupid".

The US government has the sole responsibility to keep her military complexes running in full capacities at all time.

 

[Backbencher]

Give them a pair of nukes with 50 odd jets .

Err. Parsimony is from Taiwan's side ... they should have bought Eurofighters.

If Taiwan just whispers, "Eurofighter", Cameron will be on flight to Taipei .... you bet.

Taiwan's parsimony is quite unexplainable, here.

F-16s, even block C/D are too lowly for Taiwan's economy (.. wasn't it one of the original four "tigers").

How's Taiwan's economy doing, lately?

And we are working towards... 30 new country from China...And thereafter no CHINA...Just Choose from which country out of 30 u want to be.

If USA sells F-16s to Taiwan, it"ll really be bizzare, perhaps a pressure tactic to extract Chinese concessions in SCS.

Taiwan's claims to AP, Mongolia and SCS are bigger than China's. Why do Indians think Taiwan is better. I was raised in Taiwan and I don't remember any special affinity for Indians.

Asia Times
[Chen said the media and Taiwan's opposition had come to believe that Ma would acknowledge that Taiwan belonged to the Chinese state in his inaugural speech because of the "one country, two areas" slogan in March.

"This aggressive push against the status quo not only profoundly irritated Ma's domestic opponents but also Washington. The US "informally objected," Chen said, most likely referring to a former US official who stated that "Taiwan now basically acknowledges it is part of China", and that Taiwan-owned US-made weapons systems could "soon be turned around against US forces". ]

Yes, we no longer think that China threatens us since we have strong deterrence: " http://www.defence.pk/forums/chines...hreat-us-we-have-strong-deterrence-india.html "

But we haven't thought, what do we do if Taiwan invades us with thermonuclear weapons loaded on F-16 C/Ds.

Too bad...

 

[SinoChallenger]

F-16C/D would be very helpful for ROCAF to destroy Vietnam's air force and navy in a battle over ROC-controlled Taiping Island!
