There must be a reason behind it, because US didn't play cat-and-mouse with the flight.

Do they invade is the question now right?

An invasion that the United States doesn't meaningfully contest immediately after the US House Speaker has visited and presumably given a speech about American support would be quite the blow to American prestige. The press coverage would be savage.

There are a lot of other steps China can take can take short of war too. We'll just have to wait and see.

I mentioned this in the Epstein thread, but the danger here is that maintaining a high level of alertness is liable to cause mistakes, and it could well be that the US is counting on some PLA officer getting twitchy
