At the end of September, DPP released its new
manifest of developing and building our own submarines and vowed to carry it out
after 2016, when it wins the Presidential Election.
Yao Chung-yuan, former Deputy Director of the Department
of Strategic Planning of MND, warned that KMT could block procurement again as
it did from 2001 to 2008. Could DPP overcome
the situation after 2016? What is the difference
between purchasing submarines and building them on our own?
US President Bush approved to sell Taiwan 8 conventional
submarines; however, KMT blocked the budget for 7 years without being blasted
by the White House or the Pentagon. What’s
more, KMT and its candidate even won the Presidential office in 2008 and got re-elected
in 2012 under the help of the Uncle.
KMT’s obstruction, hence, could be an
implication of the withdrawal of Uncle’s commitment, when the latter anticipated
an un-manageable aftermath.
The unpleasant truth is that the development and
building of submarines might not be carried out without the Hot Zone technologies:
the hull, the combat system and the weapon system, which are from the Uncle.
Either choosing to procure submarines or to
build one by ourselves, we face similar problems. Revised

九月底民進黨推出潛艦國造的政策，以與外購潛艦一別苗頭。
反過來思考，即便當年國民黨阻擋軍購，國民黨一樣未被美國譴責。真怪！
長期阻擋軍購，到底是島內政治惡鬥或是美國觀點的延伸（白宮因政治理由而同意在先，國防部因為技術理由而反對於後，而以國民黨阻擋為表現），值得重新思考。美國仍然支持阻擋軍購的政黨與候選人當選並連任總統。
潛艦國造案中，關鍵零件（系統）的自製是生死問題。
作為盟友的台灣，若無美國的「熱區」技術：船殼、作戰系統、武器系統，就沒搞頭。
潛艦的國造與外購，遇到的狀況其實是類似的。
軍售限制、潛艦國造 美交出神秘「關鍵技術」！○關鍵時刻 (2014.10.07) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p3f4gxoyn4&list=PL7X0EtIoZRgH2O5ZOjdPQQkcSwelx4iPX
The arms sells issue amounts to a laughable seesaw game between the US and a "Taiwan Governing authority" (not a full-fledged government) that domestically goes by an other name.
回覆刪除Taiwan presents all the traits of an occupied territory where the occupier has gone AWOL.
And the US Congress remains hoodwinked over that issue.
Is such territory supposed to plan for its defense?
The response is a resounding NO.
Then, the question remains.
Who is ultimately providing for the security of Taiwan?
When you know the response to that, you can also point your finger at the power that is ultimately controlling Taiwan.
