Arms freeze for Taiwan
Admiral Timothy Keating, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, has confirmed that Washington has imposed an arms freeze on Taiwan.

Keating said officials "have reconciled Taiwan's current military posture, China's current military posture and strategy that indicates there is no pressing, compelling need for at this moment arms sales to Taiwan of the systems that we're talking about."

This confirms Taiwan's complains that Washington is refusing to sell 66 F-16C/D fighters to the island.
