Taipei Times: Clapper refuses to discuss PLA threat
TESTIMONY:The US director of National Intelligence did say that China is augmenting the more than 1,200 short-range ballistic missiles deployed opposite Taiwan with DF-16s
US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday that he could not discuss — in open session — Chinese military expansion and its impact on Taiwan.
He offered to give some details at a future meeting to be held in secret.
Clapper and US Defense Intelligence Agency Director-General Vincent Stewart were testifying on worldwide security threats.
WNU Editor: For his to say this .... it tells me that there must be some disturbing intelligence that he is aware of when it comes to Chinese intentions on Taiwan .... and he does not want the public to know.
