The United State's longstanding military sales to Taiwan aside, there are many people in the current U.S. administration and congress who want to rip up the "don't rock the boat" playbook and push back against real or perceived moves by China to exert control over its neighbors.

"I think ultimate success is regime change ... the goal is quite simply to break the back of this totalitarian mercantilist economic society."
