The article discusses the recent talk of a potential US war with China, even though there has been no actual provocation from Beijing. The cause of this supposed inevitability is the US’s desire to stand up for Taiwan, which China claims as its sovereign territory. However, the US officially recognizes Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan and does not support its independence. Despite this, the US has poured billions of dollars’ worth of weapons into Taiwan and has a growing military presence on the island. China has exercised patience and restraint in the face of US provocations but is preparing for conflict because the US has placed its military on China’s doorstep and is clearly seeking war. The article argues that Taiwan’s full reintegration with the rest of China is inevitable, as its economy is heavily dependent on access to markets across the rest of China. The US’s persistent interference in Taiwan’s local political affairs has put gradual reintegration on hold.
