A war between China and the United States over Taiwan in the near future is unlikely, despite rising temperatures in the Taiwan Strait in recent years, said a prominent Chinese international relations academic.

Prof Jia said that the ball is in fact in Taipei and Washington’s court. He argued that there are political dynamics in both places pushing Taiwan towards independence.
