Former ambassador Jie Wenji said on the 2nd, "The purpose of the United States to sell these weapons now is to ask Taiwan to fight the city defense war and clear the inventory by the way", which sparked discussions.

Jie Wenji said in the Zhongtian program "Lu Xiufang Spicy Evening News" on the 2nd. "The so-called Harpoon anti-ship missile can only hit 150 kilometers, and he won't even hit you with 200 kilometers. 

The narrowest of our Taiwan Strait is nearly 200 kilometers. , so the United States always let you fight land battles defensively, and then F-16V, now there are very few new F-16Vs in the world, this aircraft has a history of 40 years, and Taiwan only has this type of aircraft.

 The US and other countries use the F-35, but now there are very few who use the F-16V."

Jie Wenji further said, "The purpose of the U.S. to sell these weapons is to ask Taiwan to fight the city defense war and clear the inventory by the way; and this Harpoon anti-ship missile is actually similar to our own bow-three missiles and anti-ship missiles. , the performance is worse than our own, but the United States wants us to buy it."
