Dr. Yu Jie China Foreign Policy Expert Chatam House:
Not just Taiwan - all US Asian allies are afraid of being traded away by the US.
With US military & diplomatic resources shifted to the Middle East, would Washington have time & energy left for Indo-Pacific?
Japan, South Korea & the Philippines are the most worried - and all three have every reason to expand their military capabilities.
From their perspective, it's self-defense. From Beijing's perspective, it's provocation.
As Trump shifts focus, strategic & security pressure is building in China's neighborhood. That is something to watch very carefully.
