TL;DR Summary

Leaked US military documents reveal that Taiwan may be ill-equipped to defend itself against a Chinese air attack, with Chinese air power likely to overwhelm Taiwanese defenses. The documents also criticize Taiwanese military planning and preparedness, and highlight the difficulty of accurately gauging a potential escalation due to increased Chinese military activity around Taiwan. The leaks come at a time of strained Chinese-American relations, and an Air National Guardsman has been arrested and charged with violating the Espionage Act in connection with the leak.
