2004年6月,台湾“行政院”通过了总额6108亿元新台币(约合182亿美元)的重大军购预算案,用于购买美军的先进武器装备,包括388枚“爱国者-3”型导弹、8艘常规动力潜艇、12架P3—C反潜机。这是历年来台湾军购预算中规模最大的一次。美国对外出售军事装备主要是通过对外军售与直接商业销售两种方式进行。对“爱国者”导弹和反潜机的销售,美国已经基本确定采用对外军售的方式;而对潜艇的销售,美台之间正在进行交涉,台湾希望采用直接商业销售的方式。那么,这两种销售方式到底有什么差异呢?
In June 2004, Taiwan’s “Executive Yuan” approved a total budget of NT $ 610.8 billion (about US $ 18.2 billion) for the purchase of advanced US military equipment, including 388 “Patriot-3” type Missiles, eight conventional power submarines, 12 P3-C anti-submarine aircraft. This is the largest Taiwan military procurement budget over the years. The U.S. arms sales to foreign countries are mainly conducted through two methods: arms sales and direct commercial sales. For the sale of “Patriot” missiles and anti-submarine aircraft, the United States has basically determined the way of arms sales to other countries; while the sales of submarines are being negotiated between the United States and Taiwan, Taiwan hopes to adopt direct commercial sales. So what is the difference between the two sales methods?
