"The Chinese mainland denied on Wednesday Taiwan’s assertion of the “right of self-defense” if a mainland aircraft enters the island’s space, saying that Taiwan is a part of China.

Koo Li-hsiung, Taiwan security chief, claimed recently that the island’s military would be ordered to exercise the “right of self-defense” if the People’s Liberation Army “attacks” aircraft, vessels, facilities, or enters without permission within 12 nautical miles of the island’s “territorial airspace and waters”.

Not arguing with you but let's say that it does go hot- what are we (US Navy, not SH) going to do about it after being stonewalled by our own politicians) It didn't always use to be this way either for that matter.
