Democratic countries need to push back against the Chinese party-state's efforts to exclude Taiwan from participating in international events, writes Nathan Attrill
"Beijing wants governments and institutions to see engagement with Taiwan as a source of trouble to avoid. Democracies should do the opposite. They should make routine engagement with Taiwan normal, more resilient and harder for Beijing to disrupt."

There has been an almost complete cessation of PLA air activity in the Taiwan Strait over the past ten days. The reasons for this are unclear
"Ultimately, the temporary absence of PLA aircraft should not be interpreted as a reduction in Beijing’s pressure on Taiwan. It is more likely a short-term anomaly within a broader pattern of sustained coercion."

Beijing's attempts to coerce Japan over Taiwan has "demonstrated the diminishing returns of coercion against politically confident middle powers."
"By dramatically escalating public criticism against Japan in a single year, Beijing has elevated Tokyo’s prominence in Taiwan-related security debates rather than diminishing it."
