4/28 If the U.S. is supporting a "One-China" policy, should we be
selling Taiwan our advanced weapons. If they do, in fact, unite,

then belong to China.
\_ Those F-16s were Block 20/25 with the MLU. Not the most advanced
F-16s. In fact they were embargoed Pakistani F-16s. The Chinese
have the J-10, which was made with Israeli assistance, based upon
the Israeli Lavi fighter, which is a knock-off of the F-16.
Plenty of countries have U.S. weapons that could one day be used
against US but most are older models/outdated. Iran was sold
F-14s before the Shah was deposed (though they only have a
few working ones left. Iraq had old HAWKs during the Gulf
War besides their usual Soviet SAMs.
then belong to China.
\_ Those F-16s were Block 15 with the MLU. Not the most advanced
F-16s. The Chinese are developing the J-10, with alleged
Israeli assistance, based upon their experience with the now
cancelled Israeli Lavi fighter, which was made with U.S. assistance
and very similar to the F-16. Several Congressmen have brought
this issue up and publicly condemn Israel for helping China.
\_ Yeah, someone in China wrote us a check and the delivery address
just happened to be in Taipei.
