The head of Taiwan’s opposition party returned on Tuesday from an eight-day visit to mainland China. Relations between the two countries may be on the mend; after the visit, China made a peace offering to the island in the form of two giant pandas. But reports about the possible rapprochement have been careful to note that the Chinese military still has around 725 missiles “pointed” at Taiwan, with no plan to remove them any time soon. Wait, are these missiles literally pointed toward the island?
