Thanks but no thanks, I don't want those unpatriotic Wanwanese to come to NZ.

This FT report has admitted the chance of a "new status quo" a la Diaoyu Islands after PLA's exercise and operation around Taiwan in the wake of Pelosi's visit. It interviewed extensively to get opinions from the US establishment sources, analysts and think tankers. The assessments are largely to the point. Keep in mind, FT has become an outlet for the US political insiders. It first reported Pelosi's plan to visit Taiwan last month.
Yeah, there is an option of carrier pigeons, so there is that.
They never did cut it off in the first place. Original 8 countermeasures never even said that. The only ones that were cut is policy and regional discussions.
Suicide (CIA-assisted).
Frankly that number would be China slacking off if that's not achieved in less than 5 years, even accounting for those used up in training.
That's ~100 IRBMs increase from 2020-2021, which should presumably all be DF-26s.
Why though
US MIC would suffer big losses if TW develops their own missiles. Gotta keep buying them at inflated costs.
