China's naval buildup has produced a new type of attack submarine that U.S. intelligence did not know was under construction, according to U.S. defense and intelligence officials.
The submarine was spotted several weeks ago for the first time and has been designated by the Pentagon as the first Yuan-class of submarine.

maybe Bush should hurry up and sell Taiwan those 8 subs we talked about selling in 2001...
They know now. There's always a point at which you didn't know before and you know after. This is that point. What's embarassing about that?

The trouble with turning over military technology to Taiwan is that whatever technology exists there will probably be leaked to mainland China.
