Specifically, it called for "the fielding of an Integrated Joint Force with precision-strike networks west of the International Date Line along the first island chain, integrated air missile defense in the second island chain, and a distributed force posture that provides the ability to preserve stability, and if needed, dispense and sustain combat operations for extended periods."

The first island chain consists of a group of islands including Taiwan, Okinawa and the Philippines, which China sees as the first line of defense.

Pretty sure China is going to see American missiles in Taiwan as a red line the same way America couldn't tolerate Soviet missiles in Cuba.

Also, once again the Okinawans get fucked over by US troops placements.
