Ah, makes sense I suppose. I can see how the US does benefit from the status quo too in relations to the PRC so they wouldn’t want to let that go. Thanks!
(Also I didn’t notice that mistake either, oops. I meant Taiwan as well)
Yep! It's not a specifically US Strategy to try to millitarize footholds on the borders of countries it is hostile to in order to pressure and threaten them, other countries have done the same throughout history, but the US is by far the country doing it the most in modern times and it isn't close.
