(NSI News Source Info) TAIPEI, Taiwan- August 6, 2010: A Taiwanese newspaper reported Thursday that the U.S. will sell the democratic island two warships, a move that would almost certainly anger China and further undermine Beijing's already tense relations with Washington.The report, in the mass circulation Apple Daily, quotes an unnamed Taiwanese senior officer as saying that the U.S. Navy will sell Taiwan two Perry class frigates, about to be decommissioned, for $20 million each. The ships' sale will be formally approved by the State Department in late 2010 or early 2011, the paper quoted the officer as saying.
