It is very possible that the Japanese government ... decided to either leak this story or gave the Japanese press permission to publish it to emphasize the threat.

From production to delivery, it would take five years for the destroyers to reach here.

People will be encouraged by the upgrade of U.S.-Taiwan relations from Chen's high-level exposure and high-level access,

The number of missiles has been steadily increased. In another 2 to 3 years, Beijing will deploy another 500 to 600 missiles. So definitely Taiwan is under tremendous threat and pressure,

We are excited to have the new management team in place to drive our next level of growth. Keith and Dian have been critical to the success of Apache to date and having them in their new roles, along with the addition of Craig, will allow Apache to continue to support our customer base while we grow our market share globally.

President Chen has been constrained by both the opposition parties and factions in his own party. I would say President Chen has done a mediocre job on foreign policy, and an equally mediocre job on domestic policy.

China's real defense spending is much higher.

This one is more dangerous than the 1996 missile crisis,

There is also the personnel training and cost to consider, since it would take naval officers at least three years to master the operations before the Aegis-fitted warships can be enlisted.

Craig brings a wealth of industry experience and knowledge to Apache at this critical juncture of the company, and we are pleased to welcome him to our executive team. Craig will play a pivotal role in continuing our rapid growth and increasing the proliferation of our technology worldwide.

I don't think that there is going to be serious impact to trade between Taiwan and China. It's not in China's best interest to cut off trade.

Because if China decided to use force it is not only exercises, it is not bluffing, it is not intimidation. It is a decision to use force to damage Taiwan, and make Taiwan to come to the negotiating table with China.

They will be happy about the upgrading of relations, even if it comes at the expense of more tension in U.S.-China relations.

In a time of modern warfare it is requiring joint exercises or operations to deter the enemy. But with regard to conducting joint warfare, the army doesn't talk to the air force. The navy doesn't talk to the army.
