TAIPEI, Taiwan — Nearly two dozen People’s Liberation Army Navy aircraft flew over the median line in the Taiwan Strait or into the island’s air defense identification zone on Wednesday, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said.

From the map it appears to be closer to Taiwan than to China.
You said China twice. Even the US official policy is one China.
The US official policy is also that marijuana has no medical benefits.

I don’t believe China would go dark in response to us recognizing Taiwan. If they would do that over something so petty, we need to be treating them as a hostile, non-communicating entity anyway.
So basically, if we model China as willing to sever diplomatic relations over that, we should model them as already having severed diplomatic relations.
It’s not a petty matter at all, It’s not possible to formally recognise both countries. RoC has territorial claim over the entire Chinese mainland. The one China policy is the bedrock for every country’s diplomatic ties with China. Americans really are a people obsessed with war.
Ah yes, the ol’ squint and slice it fifty fifty method. Definitely more reliable at determining who has claims to what area than, you know, checking who has claims to what area.
I’m pretty sure “closer to” is a concept from geometry and not politics. I don’t need any additional sources to check my claim thanks.
Alright, it’s way closer to China then it is to the USA, why are there US fighter jets and battleships there at all? Pretty sure the half way point is somewhere past the Philippines.
