The new normal of China’s incursions across the imagined median line down the Taiwan Strait could strain already tense relations between both sides, analysts said on Dec 19. Former United States National Security Council official Paul Haenle and International Crisis Group China fellow Ivy Kwek share more with CNA’s Asia First.

1. What's an imagined median sea lane?? Look out China, the massive American war machine and it's

dutiful media have their $850 billion a year eyes on you. Such largesse needs constant justification.

China doesn’t cruise the sea lanes off America, does it? Hypocrisy.

2. Beat the drums of war, stir the coals of fear, because we're the biggest swinging war-dick there is.

850 billion says it’s so.

What could go wrong with the American MIC/War Department on the case?

3. This is not just about Taiwan. China is going for total control of the Pacific.

China is planning on being a 21st century superpower and must get regional control first.

Just like their ally Putin is doing in Europe.

We underestimate China at our own peril.

4. We have maybe the worst foreign policy ever - how long must we wait

to enter another war?
