The US government developed that plane to bomb China and to share with allies. Australia seems like it would be first in line there. Maybe Japan, if they're into that sort of thing.

I don't know what the US sells to Taiwan, if anything.

Just missiles and some upgrades to their rusting 30-40 year old F-16s.

Yeah I suppose selling bombers to the Taiwanese would not go well, even if they wanted them.

Super Hornets with dodgy ass Oxygen supply systems.

Similar range to the F-35. Can't effectively hit China with them.

Man we cant even get new Abrams tanks. First tier is US only, Second tier went to Israel and Saudi Arabia, and we got third tier refurbs.

Our F-35s cant shoot anything, and our Super Hornets keep on asphyxiating the pilots. The F-111 is well on the way out.

No one wants us winning any wars.

That being said its nigh on impossible to completely control this place.

Better to be prepared as its an eventuality that war will kick off with China within the next few decades.
