My comment: The next paragraph in the VOA report is, "据英文《台湾时报》报道,在梁光烈抵达五角大楼前,美国官员说,他们预期,梁光烈一定会在会晤中表示,中国坚决反对美国今后继续向台湾出售武器。但是,这位官员还表示,美国的立场一向清晰,“美国的政策是基于美中三个联合公报与台湾关系法。"
(a) There is no 英文《台湾时报》: Taiwan has only two English-language newspapers (Taipei Times and China Post); and 台灣時報 is published in Chinese language. http://www.twtimes.com.tw/
(b) The correct citation:
William Lowther, Chinese Defense Minister Signals Change in US Ties. Taipei Times, May 9, 2012 http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/ ... 12/05/09/2003532366
("Prior to Liang’s Washington meetings, US officials told the Taipei Times that they fully expected that the general would object to any future arms sales to Taiwan. In particular, they expected him to ask for 'clarification' on the recent White House promise to give 'serious consideration' to selling F-16C/D aircraft to Taiwan")
