There has been no shortage of recent warnings about China trying to take over Taiwan by force. The May 1 cover story of The Economist called Taiwan: "The most dangerous place on earth."

Against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait is an intensified Sino-U.S. confrontation. Washington's frequent use of the Taiwan card to contain China has sparked military intimidation from Beijing in the past two years. The tensions are a reminder that there is no longer anything like the "1992 Consensus" that had established a diplomatic challenge across the Strait, ever since Tsai Ing-Wen became Taiwan's president.
