Lets Get Real:
The Biden Administration has shown restraint when it comes to China and its military moves around Taiwan after the visit by Speaker Pelosi. This is the big stick to remind China that the US safeguards Taiwan and that China cannot do what it likes when it comes to Taiwan, that the US will protect an ally. One would have thought that China would have waited, but with the invasion of the Ukraine by Russia, the Chinese Government might think this is its chance, with the Biden viewpoint stuck with the Ukraine, the on going talks with Iran over its nuclear ambitions and the threat from North Korea of a nuclear test.
