Amid Tensions With China, US Approves Sale Of $75 Million Tactical Data Link To Taiwan

The Pentagon announced on Wednesday the US State Department has cleared a prospective $75 million sale to Taiwan of advanced tactical data link system upgrade planning.

The sale takes place amid rising tensions between Taiwan and China, which claims the island as its territory. China has never ruled out using force to gain control of Taiwan.

“The package would include Cross Domain Solutions, High Assurance devices, Global Positioning System receivers, communications equipment, technical services, and other related elements of logistics and program support”, the Pentagon continued.

On Wednesday, the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the proposed sale.

Despite State Department approval, the notification does not represent the signing of a contract or the conclusion of negotiations.

The Pentagon stated that the prime contractor would be chosen through competitive bidding processes.
