"If you read the full story you will see part of the logic for this approach - whether it works or not is another question. So Taiwan can't pay for the first package of weapons the U.S. approved in December but the admin is going to approve another package now that Taiwan also can't pay for Seems like the worst of all worlds: Taiwan looks weak & U.S. risks setback in relations w/China.

"You're underscoring the point of the story by missing the point of the story. Fighters do not normally fire flares at other aircraft - but in this case they did. Fighters don't have to fly close behind to be in a position to shoot - but in this case they did. The point is: this is not normal. Fighter aircraft do not "fire decoy flares at" other aircraft (check any number of videos of aircraft deploying flares at airshows worldwide). A Chinese J-16 does not have to fly "very closely" behind a Taiwanese fighter to be in a position to shoot it downguns and Fighter aircraft do not "fire decoy"
