China has flown a nuclear-capable bomber outside its borders in a show of force for the first time since US President-elect Donald Trump’s phone call with the president of Taiwan.

this is merely a show of force, but I didn't know it turned out this way.

there's no telling if further antics may escalate this

There are some fragile egos involved in this, after all
