(a) "新美国安全中心研究员科比(Elbridge Colby)和前美国国防部政策次长斯洛科姆(Walter Slocombe)5月23日在华尔街日报共同发表文章，呼吁美国改变对台湾的“战略模糊”政策"
(i) I knew of the article then, but did not see it in the US edition of Wall Street Journal (WSJ); presumably it appears in Asia Wall Street Journal. Still th article does not say anything new.
(ii) Elbridge Colby and Walter Slocombe, US 'Ambiguity' on Taiwan Is Dangerous. WSJ, May 23, 2016. http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s- ... angerous-1464022837
Jerry Hendrix, Is War with China Now Inevitable? At the very least, Obama’s inaction made it more likely. National Review, May 24, 2016. www.nationalreview.com/article/4 ... -weakness-east-asia
(the first two sentences: "China is acting like it wants a war. It probably doesn't, but it doesn't want the United States to know that")
* The essay does not mention Taiwan at all (but rather about South China Sea itself). Again there is nothing new in the essay.
