There would be “big trouble, very serious trouble” if Washington sold the 66 upgraded F-16 fighters wanted by Taipei, Xu Guangyu.
President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) said in Taipei yesterday that the US government was stalling on Taiwan’s request for F-16 jet fighters because of displeasure from China.
Taiwan first asked to buy new F-16s in 2007 after approving substantial funding for the aircraft.
