The head of a prominent U.S. business group accused President Barack Obama of compromising Taiwan's security to promote U.S. ties with China.
Hammond-Chambers said the U.S. departments of state and defense, as well as the U.S. Trade Representative, appeared interested in building closer U.S. ties to Taipei despite resulting complications in the U.S.-China relationship.
"Regrettably, this effort runs smack into a White House that clearly views Taiwan as a barrier to U.S. interests in Asia,"
he wrote in an annual year-end report dated Thursday and distributed Friday.
"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 updating of Taiwan's F-16 fleet was a material response to Beijing's own fighter modernization"
The White House declined to comment on the criticism.
