U.S.-Taiwan Business Council wants Obama to clear F-16 sale to Taiwan
The president of the U.S.-Taiwan Business Council is accusing U.S. President Barack Obama of compromising Taiwan's security by not selling F-16s to the island.

"If the Obama administration balks at providing replacement F-16 fighters to Taiwan, China will have won a major victory in the Taiwan Strait without firing a shot," the council president said. The updating of Taiwan's F-16 fleet was a "material response" to Beijing's own fighter modernization, he added.
