It's remarkable that anyone would classify something like a change of passport or a color on a map as "aggression" toward China! Especially when the Chinese aggression discussed here is airstrikes and missile barrage, followed by a naval invasion.

Everyone understands that Taiwan will not invade China. To classify Taiwan as the aggressor is wildly disingenuous.



What I meant is to start a conflict (intentional or unintentionally) to get US military involved. Just watch the local news commentors there. It is definitely been constantly discussed.


Some US news commentators talk about supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine. That doesn't mean it's official policy.

I understand your point. But ambiguity has deterred a formal Taiwan president from declaring independence. "Aggression" may not be the right choice of word, but this is what I meant, "the leash is gone" in the original post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2003/12/11/t...
