Associated Press February 9, 2010 Lawmaker: Taiwan still wants US subs TAIPEI, Taiwan: A Taiwanese lawmaker says the island's navy commander told him that the island still wants to acquire diesel submarines from the United States, despite their absence from a recent U.S. arms package. Lin Yu-fang of the ruling Nationalists said Tuesday the conversation last week centered on strategies for convincing Washington to change its mind on the submarines. Defense Ministry spokesman Yu Sy-tue also says the subs are still on the table. The U.S. last month announced a $6.4 billion arms package to Taiwan, including Blackhawk helicopters and Patriot air defense missiles. The announcement spurred a furious reaction from China. Beijing claims Taiwan as its territory. The sides split amid civil war in 1949. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
