      I’m pretty sure “closer to” is a concept from geometry and not politics. I don’t need any additional sources to check my claim thanks.

        Alright, it’s way closer to China then it is to the USA, why are there US fighter jets and battleships there at all? Pretty sure the half way point is somewhere past the Philippines.

          I’m not familiar with the details but I would imagine it has something to do with the Taiwanese government being okay with it.
