the u.s. arms dealer raytheon is suspected of inflating arms sales prices. the u.s. department of justice has reached plea negotiations with the manufacturer. taiwan's defense department head gu lixiong said on the 4th that "it will get all the money back." in this regard, xu qiaoxin, the representative of the kuomintang, said, "we are poor party a. this is a very ridiculous thing."

xu qiaoxin pointed out that from a business perspective, party a is the more powerful person, and party b is the one who sells things and must meet party a’s needs. however, this is not the case at all with u.s. arms sales to taiwan. as party b, the united states, on the contrary, taiwan has to buy whatever it wants to sell, so before buying, we don’t know anything about what we bought, how it will be delivered, or whether it will be accepted. we can only look at the original price of the item, which arms dealers we have passed through, and whether it was overpriced or underpriced. does the other party have a conscience?

xu qiaoxin further questioned, raytheon company sells so many things to taiwan, are they only exaggerating the two items discovered so far? only the united states has the ability to fully investigate this matter, but she believes that the united states will obviously not fully investigate.

regarding gu lixiong's statement that he "wanted to get it all back," xu qiaoxin criticized it. who knows? in addition to looking at whether the united states is willing to help taiwan negotiate with raytheon, it is also necessary to take into account the fact that the democratic party and the republican party operate different arms dealers and attach different importance to different arms dealers. "we are poor party a. this is very a ridiculous thing." xu qiaoxin expressed the hope that gu lixiong would keep his word and explain to the public the steps and procedures for getting the money back, including whether he had informed the american institute in taiwan (ait), whether he had contacted raytheon, and whether he wanted to get it back after contacting raytheon. i need to answer everyone’s questions well about the lawsuit, where is the complaint, when is the lawsuit expected to be filed, etc.
