The number of Taiwanese seeking out gun training has quadrupled since Russia invaded Ukraine as concerns grow that China could make a similar move on the breakaway island. China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has stepped up its military manoeuvres around the island, including on Monday when officials reported the largest incursion by China’s air force into its airspace since January. China’s military said it was in response to “collusion” between the US and Taiwan, with US President Joe Biden angering China last week after warning the US would respond if China sought to forcibly reunify. US officials later said there has been no change to Washington’s longstanding policy of “strategic ambiguity” on the issue, even as Taiwan stocks up on US weapons and defence systems. Analysts say a Chinese attack on Taiwan would see heavy costs on both sides. #SquizShortcut
