SOMEONE set coordinates so that the missile didn't enter Chinese space. No one who wanted to cause trouble would have done that (or fired only one). The missile was then accidentally launched at those coordinates, because setting coordinates and launching are separate steps (again, D'oh).

It's embarassing how the Pan-Greens must clutch eagerly at everything that presents a possible conspiracy.<br /><br />I'm pro-Taiwan independence and I cannot fathom why Taipei Times would want to accomodate such nonsense, that harms the Tsai administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-82026354613620773392016-07-11T07:46:50.073+08:002016-07-11T07:46:50.073+08:00You can always come up with ever more fanciful sce...You can always come up with ever more fanciful scenarios to explain things, but that does not mean they are "logical".

But saying that it must have not have been deliberate because it didn't cross the line is not convincing. What if someone wanted to give China a prod but not actually make a major incident? That would be clever, actually. But the man reason that I think it was accidental is that they hit their own fishing boat.<br />JaydeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
