I thought Taiwan was China? Hard to invade yourself, eh, Xi?
‘Renegade breakaway province’
Can’t believe he figured it out. What a shame. Guess we’ll have to go provoke another country to invade our fellow flourishing independent democracies, who play a key role in the world’s trade.
Seriously though, I hope he’s just giving himself an easy out here. There’s always too much war going on.
First link: Members of A Company, so you’re looking at 100 people maximum and likely less. Not exactly a large fighting force.
Second link: There’s nothing “quiet” about it. It’s been blaring on Western News non-stop for about 6 years now. The US has been completely open about weapons sales and training schedules.
Third link: We gave President Tsai Ing-Wen a medal. Okay, and?

XI is way too smart to push deep into the nether regions of Taiwan, especially after being briefed by Wang.
Wang briefs Pooh, avoids a push into nether regions.

Perfect
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has accused the US of trying to trick China into invading Taiwan, but he said it won’t take the bait, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the FT, Xi made the accusation during a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in April last year.
Xi has issued the same warning to officials in his own country, one source told the FT, but this would be the first time he made the claim to a foreign leader, the outlet said.
But the mood in Washington, DC, seems to be shifting, with Congress showing itself more “overtly supportive of Taiwan than only a few years ago,” Graeme Thomson, an analyst with the Eurasia Group, told BI in November.
Last month, a US congressional delegation met with senior Taiwanese officials to discuss US-Taiwan relations, a few days after China conducted military drills around the island.
During a meeting in April, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned US Secretary of State Antony Blinken not to cross China’s “red lines” on sovereignty, security, and development interests.
