What's the point of their recent visits then? Just a fuck you to China? The US is stupid, but I also believe they believe China is a real threat, especially militarily, so why do this if it's no provocation?
If the U$ does nothing, they're guaranteed to lose their hegemonic position as China gets better.
If they goad China into a shooting war, they're just about guaranteed to lose.
If they goad China into a shooting war where it looks like China's the bad guy, they'll probably lose.
If they can convince Taiwan to buy over priced military trash, they'll put off the decline of the U$ for a little longer.
