WASHINGTON—The top U.S. general said on Thursday there was a low probability that the Chinese regime would try to take over Taiwan militarily in the near-term as Beijing has some way to go to develop the capabilities needed.
While there has been increasing concern in Taiwan and among some U.S. lawmakers about Chinese military activity near the island, like flying jets in Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ), U.S. military officials have told Reuters that such moves are not overly concerning.
