“The United States does not seem to be backing up its strong and, in many ways, commendable rhetoric with the degree of effort and focus needed to be ready to defeat a Chinese assault on Taiwan.”
Why is the US not doing more *urgently* to prepare for a war with China over Taiwan? Despite strong rhetoric, the US does not *actually* seem to be getting ready. We need to close this gap.
I lay out the state of play as I can see it in @ForeignAffairs.

Lets see how the China reacts!!!
More Info:
Taiwan's President @iingwen met on Monday with a delegation of #USCongress members in a further sign of support among American lawmakers for the self-governing island that China claims as its own territory.
Responding to the latest US congressional delegation’s visit to #Taiwan, #China’s defense ministry said the US revealed its real identity as a meddler and violator of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and that the visit sends a wrong signal to “Taiwan independence" separatists. The ministry reiterated that the PLA Eastern Theater Command’s multi-service joint combat readiness patrols and drills conducted around #Taiwan today is a resolute response and deterrence to the provocation initiated by the US and Taiwan.
