Gordon G. Chang, National Interest: Why a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan Would Be a Massive Mistake
From the author: "China may find out, however, that by the time Beijing is ready for war, Taiwan will have cemented relationships with powerful friends, the ones Chinese leaders fear."
“In an extreme situation, every country has a right to shoot first,” said Shen Dingli of Shanghai’s Fudan University to the New York Times.
Beijing looks like it is once again organizing its house academics to threaten the people of Taiwan, this time to intimidate the United States into not aiding the endangered island republic. Shen preceded his menacing words with a warning to Taiwan’s president. “The United States,” he said, “unfortunately may mislead Tsai Ing-wen to misjudge the strategic situation.”
This month, Beijing has been busy issuing “red lines” and “bottom lines” to America, much like it did in May of last year. Then, in addition to declaring a “people’s war” on the United States, it publicized a phrase it had used in the past before employing force.

F-117’s are in flying shape and there’s at least 40 ready to be sold to Taiwan.
Do it surreptitiously.
Like I stated before; China invasion is all hype, no backbone. It would be a terrible idea for all but very bad for China.
Gordon Chang is a sad hack. Dude claims to be China "expert" and can't even speak Mandarin.
China has nothing to gain from invading Taiwan except to avoid a civil war.
It would instantly create a massive anti PRC alliance and a ruinee economy.
They're not stupid.
We meed a new iron curtain in the east to mark the new cold war border.
Eastern Iron Curtain. I can buy this. Good idea, methinks.
The long wished mistake.
