Leaked documents reveal China's hypersonic missile threat to Taiwan and US defense systems.

Leaked Pentagon assessments reveal that Taiwan is highly vulnerable to a Chinese air attack, with barely more than half of Taiwan's aircraft fully mission capable and officials doubting their air defenses can accurately detect missile launches. The assessments suggest that China's air force would have a much better shot at establishing early control of the skies than Russia did in Ukraine. The documents collectively paint a grimmer picture of Taiwan's overall readiness and serve as a warning to policymakers that China's aggression is becoming more intense even as its intentions become less predictable.
