The worst of this tragedy — the very worst — lies in the bitter reality that cynical, covert American meddling in pursuit of another “color revolution” has made a mess of a once-admirable campaign and left China, which has fretted over its territorial integrity for millennia, little choice but to intervene.The next risk, particularly relevant to Taiwan, is that China will again be forced to intervene, but this time militarily. In fact, I will be surprised if the US doesn't provoke it eventually "to isolate China." It makes perfect strategic sense in some people's minds and, hey, what could go wrong? Well, if you think Iraq was a monumental strategic blunder....
