    But Taiwan is already protecting its sovereignty, it does not need Chinese meddling with that.

    I wonder what China will do. Wargames with NK? Start supplying Russia war supplies? Increase spying in the US (like they’re not doing that already)? China tries to cultivate its appearance on the world stage but half the time ends up looking insecure and blustery.
