The Taiwan Strait now seems thick with warships—and not only with China’s
on May 5th, Chinese warships began live-fire drills in the north of the Taiwan Strait, the 180km-wide waterway between China and Taiwan. Fishermen, who were told to stay clear until May 10th, will be getting used to passing shells. In April 2018 the Chinese navy held its first live-fire exercise there for three years. .
America’s transits peaked at a dozen in 2016, Barack Obama’s last year as president. That year a less China-friendly government also came to power in Taiwan, raising cross-strait tensions. Yet since Donald Trump took office, transits have plummeted. There were just three last year—the lowest on record. On the face of it, that is curious. Many of Mr Trump’s officials have vocally supported Taiwan in the face of intensifying Chinese pressure.
