Hardline U.S. lawmakers say intercepting arms sales to Taiwan would lead to war, what is the real situation?

Some hardline members of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee claimed at a hearing that "intercepting weapons sent to Taiwan would lead to war." Are they really daring enough to do so?

In fact, the U.S. is using the narrative that "intercepting means going to war" to exert pressure, trying to prevent China from retaliating against arms sales to Taiwan. Most of these are strong statements from some U.S. media, think tanks, and certain legislators, but they do not represent the official policy of the U.S. government, and there is no official commitment to "going to war."

In reality, whether the U.S. actually intervenes in such an interception depends on the scale of the conflict, the geopolitical situation, and the balance of U.S. interests. It is impossible to generalize that "intercepting means going to war."
