US has approved a possible $100 mn Taiwan Patriot missile defense system program

  • Sale of equipment and services to Taiwan to "sustain, maintain, and improve" the Patriot missile defence system

Reuters report on a statement out of the US Pentagon

  • from the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency
  • required certification notifying Congress following State Department approval for the sale
  • re upgrades to the Patriot Air Defense System

It won't be long before we get a statement in reply out of China I suspect. 'Meddling in internal Chinese affairs' will likely be the gist of it. Mainland China claims Taiwan ... Taiwan says No.
