Shoot Down, US Sell F-35 to Taiwan for intercept China jets in Near Border

U.S. policymakers should make selling F-35 jets to Taiwan a priority. Taiwan’s government has requested them. Leading U.S. Senators, including Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), have advocated for the sale. Fear of a violent Chinese reaction to Taiwan acquiring the jets and espionage stealing the fighter’s technology has kept that from becoming a reality, as has cost. But perhaps that should change.

The F-35 jet club includes the United States, the UK, Italy, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway.

Other nations including Poland, Singapore, Greece, Spain, Japan, and Poland also have the F-35 jets under consideration. Cost has been a concern for Taiwan, but growing export orders have reduced its price tag. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) became the most recent nation to submit a request to join the club last month after signing the Abrahamic Accords.
