Japan could...several other allied nations could. I am sure the US will cut a deal to make sure it happens if the ROC approves it.

I would rather see us in the US invest in developing and building the technology to produce the modern AIP subs ourselves personally.

Actually, Taiwan probably has the capability of building the subs themselves, if they can get their hands on the blueprint and get some engineering assistance.

Good thing it's finally moving fwd. Having a new KMT Chairman probably helped too, with a little political slight of hand, everyone can now climb down and proclaim some sort of victory for their party's stances and save faces all around.

Now let's see they can actually get it passed and put money on the table. Already the US has said no to new requests for HARM and JDM due to perception that TW is hopelessly gridlock on any arms purchase.
