Will the US and China go to war over Taiwan?
A recent visit to Taiwan by Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has heightened tensions between the US and China. Their relationship is the worst it’s been in decades.
America has accused China of dangerous military provocations in the region. China has warned the US not to play with fire.
Add to all that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and concerns that China could be contemplating something similar in Taiwan, and it’s time to ask the question: Will the US and China go to war over Taiwan?
Contributors:
James Lin from the University of Washington and expert on Taiwanese history
