China Not Happy with Arms Sale




Although this topic is more under the radar for mainstream news, it doesn't escape my feed.

The United States recently is proposing another deal with Taiwan to upgrade their F16 fleet, and potentially sell more military aircraft in the future. The usual rhetoric from China is coming in: they say it will damage relations with the US. In my personal opinion, the Chinese should stop hacking US defense contractors and the Pentagon before anything is considered. Power to democracy in Taiwan- perhaps these sales have nothing to do with retaliation for back door hacking, but it sure fills the role. At least Taiwan can be innovative in their manufacturing processes when China has to steal everything from developed nations.
