Once upon a time in China and Taiwan

Politics is sometimes amusing - or at least something similar to fairy tales. I noticed this once more when I was reading a news telling that a representative of Chinese officer has proposed that his air force would protect the sovereignty of Taiwan.

As we all know, Taiwan does not need Chinese protection but rather protection against Chinese themselves. Neither does it accept Chinese military in its area - and is supported by US air force, which still has a clear technological advantage against its Chinese competitor. 

The latter point cannot be overestimated as we have learned in Ukraine, where Russians have run into trouble after western countries have supported their victims with modern weaponry. Therefore the Chinese offer for protection is not a serious comment but... hrmh... an amusing fairy tale.
