One detail in the article is just wrong.
> 15 Chinese warplanes, including eight bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons, entered Taiwan’s air defense identification area, a no-go zone that, while not recognized by international law, the Chinese military had respected for years.
This is just complete BS. Chinese warplanes fly in Taiwan's ADIZ every day. Taiwan's ADIZ extends over Chinese airspace, hundreds into kilometers Chinese mainland.

Did a simulated attack on USS Theodore Roosevelt. Reality is, US puts hardware in region or changes political status quo, PRC will respond, maybe Taiwan sweats, but that's secondary consideration at this point.
