Is Taiwan Next?
The Biden administration on Monday dispatched former senior defense officials to Taiwan in a show of support as the world wonders whether Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could trigger a Chinese invasion of the self-governing island.
The visit will be led by Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to a senior administration official.
It comes after months of Chinese aggression directed at Taiwan, including nine Chinese aircraft entering its air defence zone on the day Russian troops invaded Ukraine.
At the same time President Tsai Ing-wen ordered Taiwan’s military and intelligence security apparatus on to high alert, amid warnings that China could sense Western weakness after failing to prevent Russia’a attack.
