    China won’t shoot her plane down, it’s a stupid and needless provocation nonetheless.

      Agreed. Although personally I think One China Policy is and always was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of and it's a lie that deserves to die.

        Good luck with that. China will be the world power or at the very least dominant regional power and they wont drop it and its well within their rights to not do so. Taiwan would have been liberated half a century ago by the cpc like the rest of China if US fleet intervention didnt happen and thats the only reason Taiwan existed and exists in the first place. Its part of their territory that was occupied by the fleeing losing fascist side of their civil war and is protected and proped up by western imperialism as an geopolitical outpost. Any moves to break it away completely (and as a result turn it into a giant Okinawa military base for the US) should be opposed and if the US is pushing and initiating that process it is the one that initiates any conflict as well

        It reflects their own insecurities. But they are so close, and China is so much larger than Taiwan that it is hard to imagine a future where Taiwan is fully sovereign and independent. Even if China renounced its current policy it could still dominate Taiwan through other means.
