Assessing China and Taiwan's Military and Economic Tensions.

China's military holds the advantage over Taiwan's armed forces across every conceivable metric, with a massive population and vast resources. Beijing's incessant war games in the Taiwan Strait and President Xi's recent declaration that "China will never renounce the right to use force" suggest the CCP is laying the groundwork for a military operation. The US has committed to supporting Taiwan's security by selling arms and exchanging intelligence, and President Biden has declared that the US would intervene with force to protect Taiwan from an attack.
