    This is such a ridiculous take. Taiwan is literally historically, legally and internationally-recognized part of China. It’s literally an island that is part of China. There is no Taiwanese airspace to violate - it’s China’s airspace and has been since planes were invented.

    Further, he didn’t say the USA is trying to trick him into violating Taiwanese democracy but instead is trying to trick him into invading Taiwan, specifically by publishing stories about completing that Pacific Kill Chain by deploying specialized weapon installations on the island that could neutralize China’s military advantages via nuclear first strike capabilities. China doesn’t need to invade Taiwan for Taiwan to accept the one country two systems approach of integration which you would still consider a violation of their democracy.
