China (very late) Evening Missive
Why? This just isn’t necessary.
Contrary to the US talking points, the escalation of tensions in the South China Sea centers on American forces deploying several missile batteries on the upper north tip of Luzon island in the Philippines. A short distance to Taiwan.
There continues to be a policy of poking and prodding which I can only surmise is an attempt by America to have China “react”. Perhaps not exactly the same comparison, but I do find it similar to how the US played games with Russia over Ukraine.
Honestly, I’ve been surprised at the relatively subdued response to all of this by China.
