China’s ambition to reunify Taiwan with the mainland is evident, but the path to achieving this goal is fraught with challenges. Securing the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea, Biển Đông) is a crucial step in China’s strategy.

“Yes, China will invade Taiwan” – And that my friends is what we call “Determinism”

Ask the indigenous Taiwanese if their island has already been invaded by China yet or not.
In any case, as long as US naval supremacy holds or remains equal, China won’t risk any invasion. Just look at D-day and how much of a struggle it was, and that included total air and naval supremacy.

After Xi, will the new rulers of China care enough about Taiwan to invade? Does the communistic patriotism run as deep in the younger generations as it does with the older?

As a South East Asian, I laughed.
