If they continue or should continue to build up an offensive capability against Taiwan, Taiwan would say we need greater defences. You have been coming to Asia for a number of years. I don't think so. There is an escalation of rhetoric in the last year or so. But if you look back at the last time China was firing missiles, now they are firing some words.
Words are far better than missiles.
Nonetheless, the danger is that if the rhetoric gets out of control . . . Both China and Taiwan should pump it down several notches. It depends on what kind of threat is posed to Taiwan. We have agreed to provide them with their defensive needs. To the extent that the threat continues to escalate, then obviously their capability to defend against it will escalate.
