Will China invade Taiwan in the next few years?
… Cogent perspective by @MalcolmRiddell. I agree with nearly all of it. One point I don’t agree with is this: “Taiwan, after 50 years as a Japanese colony, was returned to the Republic of China.” https://t.co/V8RFSvAox4
@peter_dutton Peter, I agree with your points. I was using an admittedly sloppy shorthand about giving Taiwan back to China - didn't want to interrupt the flow of the main argument.
In fact, I would argue that under international law, Taiwan could even still be under U.S. military control.

@JamieMetzl@zlj517@Baric_Lab Makes sense, Jamie. Extraordinary how bad China is at PR. Feels as if Xi is heralding a new era pretty much across the board. Just have to see where this fits in.

China falls way short on Phase One Trade Deal target purchases. Through the first eleven months of 2020, China's purchases of all covered products were thus only at 58% (US exports) or 56% (Chinese imports) of their year-to-date targets. https://t.co/jPTsqsUXPi via @PIIE
