...results on purpose. The simulation also looked to be stacked in China's favor: for a start, it didn't factor in likely U.S. involvement. Why would Taiwan's military profess to be so vulnerable?

Chen is asking the legislature to take early action on $18 billion in military spending, but he may face tough opposition...
