In the article, the author discusses the reasons why the U.S. should not wage a war against China if the latter invades Taiwan. He claims that Taiwan is insignificant to the U.S.' security interests and the government should not commit to Taiwan's defense in case of a Chinese attack. Also cited is the book "Strategy of Denial" by Elbridge Colby discussing topics like China's military and economic growth and its goal of replacing the U.S. as the hegemon in Asia.
