Good articles, thanks. I really enjoyed that one on 11 meters. The Taiwan piece was quite interesting though the newspaper’s headline is a bit of a come-on. I well remember the scares about the PRC invading in the 1950s, and those came to nothing. Certainly Beijing could do it, but that would be a huge operation and the preparations couldn’t be kept hidden. There is no (public) evidence they are seriously planning it anytime soon.
