Taiwan retiring Mirage 2000 fleet??

I saw this on the Military Aviation News thread posted by Tango III and wanted to get confirmation.

The first procurement contract is expected to include 24 Su-35S fighters, with an option for an additional 24 as things progress. Though 24 to 48 fighters are not a significant threat to US forces, they pose a problem for Taiwan as it retires 56 Mirage 2000 fighters and roughly 50 F-5s.
