I think what struck me most about all these developments is how complex it can get when big nations like China and the US are involved. Like, you gotta wonder if their actions are really gonna escalate into something huge or if they're just playing a game of cat & mouse . Anyways, I guess the takeaway here is that diplomacy is key - Burns saying that tensions were "manufactured" makes sense to me... it's like, we need to talk things out and avoid letting emotions get in the way . And with Taiwan's presidential election coming up, it's like, time for them to take control of their own narrative . Ultimately, I think it's all about finding that balance between standing up for what you believe in and not wanting to rock the boat
