So, the newspaper pointed out after analyzing the documents, the United States believes that Taiwan is unlikely to interfere with China’s military air superiority in a potential conflict as island officials doubt its air defenses can “accurately detect missile launches”.

Therefore, they consider the Pentagon documents, The Chinese Air Force would have a much better chance to establish control over the airspace in advance.

In addition, tactics such as China’s use of civilian ships for military purposes undermined the capabilities of American spy agencies to detect a possible intrusion, according to leaked Pentagon assessments “containing disturbing details,” the paper said.

The island is one of the biggest sources of conflict between the two countries.This is mainly due to the fact that Washington is the main supplier of weapons to Taiwan and will become its largest military ally in the event of a war with China.

Beijing considers Taiwan a rogue province since the Kuomintang nationalists went there in 1949, losing the civil war to the communist army.

just yesterday Washington Post also uncovered other leaks indicating that the US government at least three other Chinese spy balloons discovered besides the one that flew over the United States at the end of January and that was shot down over the waters of the Atlantic on 4 February.
