Bet China wouldn't be passing out party hats if Taiwan parked an air wing or two of F35's in the driveway either. Guess they should be more grateful to the US and a little less of a threat to the region.

That would be unlikely, at least in the short term, given that the USA is apparently turning down Taiwan's request to acquire new build F-16s, let alone the F-35 (even if they were technically available). China is going to be PO'ed in any event, but most of it (we hope) is political bluster.
