Here's an interesting perspective.

One takeaway from this interview is that China has a window now to invade as many of the systems the US is selling Taiwan won't arrive until the 2030's.

Might be a long war ...

(Taiwan News) — Chinese state-run media on Sunday (Aug. 7) announced that although four days of military exercises were set to end, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will start to hold "regular" military drills east of Taiwan's median line.

China's state-run TV news station CCTV cited a commentator .. (who) claimed that the median line has never received legal recognition and described it as an "imaginary" line conceived by the U.S. military in the previous century to meet their combat needs.

This is what we were talking about - the never-ending live-fire exercises with the potential to play havoc with the supply chain.

At what point does the US apply trade sanctions on China? (forget about Aus - never is the short answer)

Can US survive a trade cutoff with China?

Currently, they're terrorizing Taiwan - entrenching forces - controlling zones. As pay-back for a visit to a free country? It's not commensurate. Guess it wasn't meant to be.
