US approves potential $500m sale of military equipment to Taiwan
The deal with Taiwan, which has not yet been finalised, would exacerbate soaring tensions between the US and China.

We've had one, yes, but what about second proxy war?
Well even though I do not ever want to see war between Taiwan and China, I believe that if there ever were one, the war would not be a proxy war but a war where Taiwanese are fighting for their own.
Taiwan only exists because it served, and continues to serve, US interests as a staging point for military operations against China. A war over Taiwan would absolutely see the US using Taiwan as a proxy, much as they are currently using Ukraine against Russia.
Fair enough.
I mean, China can just mind their own business, leave them alone, and then there doesn't have to be a war. How nice that would be.
