With limited Taiwan defense budget, better to spend on something else like Harpoon and MLRS.

The US government regards Singapore, Israel, South Korea and Japan as its first-tier allies in Asia. These four countries are authorized to acquire F-15, F-16 C/D (Japan F-2) and F-35 fighter jets to establish and maintain their strategic interests with the United States. The US government does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state and has downgraded its diplomatic status from a country to a place since 1978. Taiwan has repeatedly requested F-4, F-15, F-18 (dual engines), F-16 C/D and F-35 advanced jets from the US government since the 1970s, but all of them have been denied. The US only offers low-end single engine fighters to Taiwan, such as F-5E and F-16 A/B block 20, to play a limited role in defending the island.
