The important question is, how far from the norm is this rhetoric?

If Kamala Harris were president, I’d shrug my shoulders and disregard the Beijing tyrant’s words. But given who’s now in charge of the country that was responsible for the security of the free world, there’s reason to worry.

Seeing how Trump has responded to Russia’s assault on Ukraine, why wouldn’t Xi take his chances? The geography and distance from the EU to Taiwan makes it less riveting for the EU to get entangled.
