Israel Helps Taiwan in Defending Against Chinese Aggression

The possibility that Taiwan and Israel are cooperating in other military fields must give China pause, especially since Iran’s April 14 attack on Israel involving more than 300 missiles and drones had a 99 percent+ failure rate. China would not want to entertain the risk that Taiwan, aided by Israeli missile-defense technology, could neuter a similar barrage from China.
Coupled with Israel’s failure to help China is Israel’s potential to hurt China. If an Iran–Israel War erupts, an Iranian loss could overthrow the Mullahs and return Iran to the Western camp, costing China a strategic military ally and a major energy supplier.
In short, China has little to lose and much to gain should Israel cease to exist.
Xi and the Chinese Communist Party know that in an invasion of Taiwan, Israel could be the difference between victory and defeat. Because Israel stands between China and Taiwan, Chinese communist leaders understand that Israel must first be neutralized, or destroyed, before Xi can credibly threaten Taiwan with conquest if it refuses to be brought to heel.
