I have a devious idea.
China recently warned that the U.S. has crossed a red line with its assistance and support of Taiwan, saying that a "storm of lethal consequences" is brewing. The Global Times, a state-run communist newspaper in China, published an op-ed on Thursday criticizing the recent $80 million military financing program the U.S. announced for Taiwan and said: "With the increasing number and intensity of its intervention methods, the brewing and imminent storm of lethal consequences for Taiwan cannot be ignored."According to AP, the FMF is usually used for sovereign states, and China has continued to claim Taiwan as its own territory, while the U.S. disagrees and says Taiwan is an independent nation.
If China wants to make a point, they ought to offer $80 Million (US) to the Texas National Guard for security assistance in defending their border.
I doubt they will (and I suspect that the current governor would decline) but that would be a way to make their point.
And it would be rather funny.
