@S2Tubes check facts, yes a border skirmish with India, who initiated it is unclear but the incident is minor by comparison. The islands as you mention are early warning detection in response to Obama encircling China with American military bases (again check your facts). Air space incursions again are minor but are not threats of war, and could well be compared to American military incursions over territory which is chinese controlled, used to antagonize and for propaganda purposes. Taiwan (formerly Formosa) was part of China prior to Japanese occupation of WW2, and in the peace settlement as arranged by USA with the Japanese, was excluded from territories to be returned to China, but is still known as China. It did not become Taiwan until some years later when occupied following the civil war. Most countries in the world do not recognise Taiwan as a separate nation, and thus its sovereignty is questioned by the Beijing Government, who look forward to one day reuniting the people of the two Chinas. As with most things in China, they will more likely wait out time for unification as they tend to do with most matters, and it is the western nations speaking of war, as well as initiating acts to provoke war, such as selling of missiles and military hardware to Taiwan (again do some fact checking). China has not threatened war against any nation that i know of, but will defend itself, unlike some western nations (again fact check).
