| #7 Or that plywood with way too much formaldehyde, or the radioactive earrings. Of course, here are people wearing those made in china disposable masks and gloves, I'm sure this time they are made of tip top materials. |

| #6 100 truck mounted anti-ship coastal missile batteries and targeting radar. Can reach the coast of China at the narrowest point of straits. Chinese can destroy Taiwan's air force and the anti-ship batteries will still be operational. Sale to Taiwan of Mobile Coastal Defense Systems with RGM-84L-4 Harpoon Block II Missiles |

| #4 Taiwan should quit buying it's personal supplies for troops from PLA companies. Esp the toothpaste and soap. Given the way they unleashed Corona on the world those supplies should be disposed of. |

| #3 @2 There are for the older frigates that don't have the vertical launch systems. Expect to enter service in 2023. Harpoons are great for Taiwan and perfect for going after landing craft. |

| #2 LRASM is air launched for now. I think there are trials underway to launch it from a canister. |

| #1 Supposedly 400 Harpoons. Would have rather it been stealthy LRASM and jamming pods but Taiwan is thoroughly infiltrated w/ Chicom spies and can't be trusted with latest weapons tech. |
