Amid mounting Chinese pressure on the United States regarding
arms sales to Taiwan, the question of whether Washington will agree to
Taiwan’s request to purchase advanced F-16C/D jet fighters is receiving
increasing attention. But regardless of the F-16 decision, which many
informed observers believe will not be made until next year, the U.S.
government is continuing to move forward to supply Taiwan with a wide
variety of other weaponry. It answers Beijing’s objections by saying it
is China’s massive arms build-up that makes it necessary for Taiwan to
strengthen its defenses, and that the United States is committed under
the Taiwan Relations Act to ensuring that Taiwan has the means to defend
itself.

enabling the Chamber to underscore some of the key points covered in the
White Paper as they relate to ECFA.
