What’s the angle though? The new US government isn’t likely to help militarily if PRC jumps Taiwan. I’d think keeping the silicon shield up should be priority.

I think US is preparing for supply chain disruptions and the eventual loss of Taiwan rather than preparing to abandon it. Being tough on China seems bipartisan with Trump being more brass about it. There’s only so much aircraft carriers you can place there before China makes twice as many.

Perhaps trying to convince the incoming administration that it would be worth helping Taiwan militarily.
