Ten Chinese air force aircraft entered Taiwan's air defence zone on Wednesday accompanying five Chinese warships engaged in "combat readiness" patrols, the island's defence ministry said, the second such incursion this week.
Yeah, you can say in a meaningful sense that the US co-founded Taiwan. I personally think that part of the reason the US wants to recreate Taiwan’s manufacturing capacity is that it makes Taiwan much more expendable, meaning it can be used for military provocations and even war (as some US generals are openly calling for or predicting) without risking the loss of an irreplaceable economic asset to the US.
That could be, too. If that’s the case and Taiwan is wise, though, I think they would probably want to negotiate a surrender well before becoming America’s cannon fodder - which would deny it as a forward base for provocations. I also think military leaders are some of America’s best actors; they bluff much better than anyone in Hollywood, at least.
