US approves marketing licence in support of Taiwan's submarine programme/ Jon Grevatt - 2018
The approval enables US industry to transfer submarine-related expertise to Taiwan, which a year ago launched a programme to design and build an indigenous fleet of between six and eight boats. Taiwan was forced to launch its indigenous submarine programme due to a lack of suppliers. European countries, which have the required capabilities, have been unwilling to engage in the programme due to risks of antagonising Beijing, while the United States has not constructed diesel electric submarines for several decades.
