She is old. The trip already got delayed from February I think. And its her last term, she leaves in a few months.
Now or never.
I think its not bad that she may force Biden to clearly position himself without that strategic ambiguity BS - because what else could he do if the Chinese overreact? Kneel and say "we're sorry, we do it never again, promised"?
Like the Russians, the Chinese in recent years showed they understand only one language: that of force. They bullied practically all their neighbours in the air and on the seas, claim international waters, steal fishing grounds in other nation's territorial waters, and so forth. They always dose it such that just so the US would not react - just so... That way many small steps of advancing on the enemy and at his cost have been collected, combining to a by now impressively massive advance. And the US has done nothing, as they calculated.
And anyone one remembering the recce plane incident around one and a half decade ago when the American plane had to declare an emergency landing...?
