As many as 20 aircraft from China either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait or breached the island country’s air defense identification zone.

Now, if only the west could put up a coordinated and sustained effort of seeing Ukraine not just survive, but win, that would really send a message to china.
Current Chinese leadership isn’t much good at reading messages, they’ve been sent plenty.
As bad as this sounds it’s best to keep limited assistance to Ukraine if it can be helped. How would it look like to an increasingly unhinged Putin, dictator with a nuclear capable ICBM system, when the army of a country they invaded are rolling down the road to Moscow with highly advanced American equipment? There are two positive ways to end the war:
Ukraine invades Moscow with limited western support giving him less of a justification to send retaliatory missile strikes all over the world.
Things look so bleak even to the most financially comfortable Russian citizen that his own people turn on him and manage a successful coup before he can escalate things any further.
Ukraine, as far as I’m concerned, is neither interested, nor capable, nor allowed to start a serious invasion of russia. The risk of them suddenly going insane and doing it anyway are next to none.
