Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Shuai Hua-min said on Saturday US officials have told a delegation of Taiwanese legislators that Washington will
go ahead with the sale of diesel-powered submarines to Taiwan even if the Democrats win next year's US presidential election. The delegation was also told that four US companies that intend to participate in the bid have found European manufacturers to cooperate with, Shuai said.
