TAIPEI, Oct 27 (AP): Taiwan said on Tuesday that recent proposed of US sales of missiles and other arms systems will boost the island’s ability to credibly defend itself, amid rising threats from China.
The comments from defense ministry spokesperson Shih Shun-wen came a day after China said it would exact unspecified retaliation against companies that make the weapons systems, including Lockheed Martin Corp, Raytheon Technologies Corp. and Boeing Co.’s defense division, the lead contractor on a $2.37 billion sale of Harpoon missile systems to Taiwan.
