One of several scenarios. Basically they want to take Taiwan (Free China) while making it prohibitive for us to interfere. Then they want to totally dominate Asia.
This will be their realization of a long term desire to expel the white devil from their affairs, redress the perceived insult of the Great White Fleet’s reduced visit, and restore the hegemony of the Middle Kingdom. All the while, the West conveniently ignores the fact that Red China is the enemy.
“May you live in interesting times” is s Chinese curse. We are about to see it visited on us.
China wants to succeed where Japan’s “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” didn’t.
“Prohibitive for us to interfere.....” Hmmmm.....civil unrest? No will to fight? Collaborating leadership?!? Spread thin in other involvements? Interesting, indeed. What is Taiwan ultimately witch to them? Or us?
