OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT:
US plans to sell warships to Taiwan (Nicolas Revise, 12/16/15, AFP)
The US State Department informed Congress on Wednesday of a proposed sale of two warships to Taiwan as part of a $1.8 billion arms deal already angrily denounced by China.The massive contract comes at a time of reconciliation between China and Taiwan -- separated since 1949 -- but also of worries by Washington that Beijing is "militarizing" part of the South China Sea.
