Ho Hum. The PRC fired missiles for a week in the direction of Taiwan in the mid-1990s. Aircraft on A1 had to be re-routed by Notam of the missile firing area. In the week of firing to target the sea SW of Taiwan, the property market in HK rose 10%.

After decades of threatening Taiwan, there is a tendency to become blasé about the actions and words of the PRC. So it’s not the first time nor will it be last of these reoccurring “ threats”.

Those who get excited about the latest threats have a tendency to follow the alarmist western media without acknowledging the past history of the PRC threatening Taiwan.
