Well, this should heat things up with China:

US agrees to sell Hellfire missiles to Taiwan

Urdu Times(News): The United States has agreed to sell air-to-ground Hellfire missiles worth 50 million US dollars to Taiwan, US defence giant Lockheed Martin Corporation said Wednesday, a move expected to rile rival China.

"The US Army has executed a letter of agreement with Taiwan, setting the stage for the sale of more than 400 AGM-114M blast-fragmentation Hellfire rounds under a foreign military sales contract," the company said in a statement.

It would take the company about six months to produce the Hellfire missiles ordered by Taiwan.

The missiles will be mounted on Taiwan's Super Cobra AH-1W attack and OH-58D Kiowa Warrior scout helicopters.
