Reuters: China angered as U.S. considers navy visits to Taiwan
BEIJING/TAIPEI (Reuters) - China accused the United States on Thursday of interfering in its internal affairs and said it had lodged a complaint after U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law an act laying the groundwork for possible U.S. navy visits to self-ruled Taiwan.
Tensions have risen in recent days after a senior Chinese diplomat threatened China would invade Taiwan if any U.S. warships made port visits to the island which China claims as its own territory.
On Monday, Chinese jets carried out “island encirclement patrols” around Taiwan, with state media showing pictures of bombers with cruise missiles slung under their wings as they carried out the exercise.

MAGA BRO
Perhaps we should not dock in Taiwan. What do we get from Taiwan for all of this? Pretty much nothing of value. We are heavily dependent upon "made in China" and we are going to need Chinese assistance when the US dollar loses its role as world reserve currency. This does not even mention the huge toll in lives, property, and financial losses that America would directly suffer as a result of war with China that may not be winnable. Perhaps Taiwan is not worth this. That is something that should be considered.
Obvious bluster on Chinas part
