Taiwan breaks ground on a shipyard to produce 8 diesel submarines as a counter to China's growing military threat.
Taiwan navy sailors salute from a Dutch Zwaardvis-class submarine during a groundbreaking ceremony for the island's naval submarine factory in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, Thursday, May 9, 2019.
The self-governing island’s President Tsai Ing-wen presided over a ceremony in the southern port city of Kaohsiung, saying submarines were an effective way to deter a foe from surrounding the island by sea. China, which claims Taiwan as its territory to be annexed for force if necessary, operates a growing navy that boasts some 75 submarines, including latest generation homebuilt vessels.
Taiwan relies on the U.S. for much of its defense needs, but the U.S. now only produces nuclear-powered submarines.
