Why would we give technological assistance to a country that has threatened to nuke LA (my personal feelings about LA aside)?

The US has agreed to sell Taiwan eight diesel-powered submarines.

......

Tang has promised that Taiwan's delegation to negotiate the submarine deal with the US will include staff members of China Shipbuilding.

......

he Pentagon originally planned to send a delegation to Taipei in March this year to brief Taiwan officials on the submarine construction blueprints presented by prospective contractors, but the planned visit has since been delayed many times.

Taiwan, the other country that calls itsef China.

Check the source: China Shipbuilding is evidently a Taiwanese corporation! The Republic of China (refered to as Taiwan in US Sources) calls itself "China." I have found that you have to be careful with these kind of news stories because both sides routinely refer to themselves as "China."
