I mean China has consistently said they would take Taiwan by force if they need to and 2027 is a huge anniversary year for them (100th year of the PLA founding). 2027 will also mark the 21st Party Congress where Xi will clearly move for a 4th term in office.

Yes the US has historically painted the advisory as stronger but that isnt always a bad thing as goals against them can be much easier accomplished and the civilian population will be happy.

The US cares about its chip supply which right now and for the next probably 5-10 years will heavily involve Taiwan. It is critical to the US economy over many other things and many other countries.

Right now the way that the US and others have positioned themselves via freedom of navigation flights and sailing ships is the most peaceful check to China that can happen.
