the third possible reason for china's actions comes from retired us army general stanley mcchrystal.this now...because it can. it's different than five or ten or 20 years ago because the chinese military now has enough credible power to at least contest with the united states over the potential defence of taiwan. and that's a very different dynamic. and this different dynamic is one beijing is well aware of, not least because of what it's done in hong kong. injune 2020, china brought in new laws that drastically changed policing, democracy and freedom of speech in hong kong. the west condemned the laws, but they stayed. beijing had done precisely what it wanted — and that brings us back to taiwan and whether china may now feel emboldened to act. even the prospect has observers worried. back injuly, the diplomat magazine described taiwan's fragile status quo. it argued that "the status quo in the taiwan strait "looks increasingly shaky. "its demise would almost certainly usher in a major conflict," it told us, "and undermine regional stability in east asia and even the "international

army general stanley mcchrystal spoke to pamela brown about the u.s. being a strategic u.s. ally. >> if you look at this, there's an argument they make. however, since 1949 taiwan has been acting as a sovereign or independent element and it has been part of our defensive strategy in the region, so now it has become a flashpoint between china's rising military and stronger political muscle as well as economic so it's become a place where we could very easily find a flashpoint that could lead to conflict between the united states and china. >> that would be terrifying, right? >> what do you think? is involvement worth risking war with china? >> there would be an argument that the chinese would make subtly it is not. they would encourage the united states to quietly back away. there are a number of reasons why i think we shouldn't. first, taiwan has been a good ally. they are key to our supply chain on chip production and they are part of the community of nations in asia. so if taiwan were suddenly to be essentially abandoned by the united states, japan, south korea, and other
