China military drills near Taiwan

The prime minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines visited Taiwan even while China’s military drills surrounding the island were ongoing. Here’s why.

While Beijing is certainly trying hard to push in the direction of a “new normal,” Taiwan and the United States are pushing back against that notion.

Since Pelosi’s visit, the future of the cross-strait issue has surged toward military conflict, as the Chinese public started to dismiss the possibility of peaceful reunification.

China’s warnings against the U.S. House Speaker’s trip will induce political backlash in Taiwan, and increase support for hard-line policies against Beijing.

Half of the global container fleet passed through the Taiwan Strait this year, making it a critical waterway for global supply chains.

The PLA response to Pelosi’s Taiwan visit represents the riskiest and most intense challenge to the median line to date.

China's live-fire drills did not spark much fear in Taiwan, where frequent Chinese military activities have long become a reality.

An analysis of foreign ministry statements from across the Asia-Pacific region reveals which countries are hewing close to China's line, which lean toward the U.S., and which are staying neutral.

China’s military drills are over, but the risk of escalation remains.

China has been forced into a reactive position when it comes to cross-strait relations, largely thanks to its inflexibility.

Comparing the current crisis to the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis from 1995-96, Japan’s attitude toward China, the U.S., and other like-minded countries has changed significantly.
