Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) believes the frequency with which China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) fighter jets and warships circle the island of Taiwan is likely meant to desensitize Taiwan to Chinese military activity so they'll be too slow to respond if and when China ultimately tries to seize control of the island.
In an interview with NTD News’ “Capitol Report,” Brig. Gen. Bacon warned of a growing Chinese interest in controlling Taiwan, adding that the United States has a “moral obligation” to help preserve the island’s independence from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
