They don't have F16s but they do have Su-27s and Su-30s, and also J-10s which are F16 equivalents, moreover I thought the whole point of the lease is if the chinese launch a missle barrage to take out taiwan's airfields so that its F16s would be useless, in any case, Tawian doesn't have the missles to strike china, so what is your point?

It doesn't appear the Chicoms are as sure about this as you appear to be.

That's why Taiwan wants buy AV-8Bs. There may not be the chance to for their aircraft to take off.
