Something very interesting going on in the Taiwan straits over the last...might be a week. PRC air force has ceased aggressive patrolling. The PLAN is still out and doing their thing.
A lot of chatter about the why. The Predator in Chief is going to talk to Xi soon so that might be part of it. Another aspect. Xi is finding out that his munitions are not that great in response to Epstein's furry.
One big reason might be because Xi's supply of aviation fuel is suddenly much more expensive.
