There’s crazy internal power struggles going on in Chicom land.
Xi is not Mao or Deng by a long shot.
There’s an election in Taiwan coming up too and chicoms always try to threaten and scare Taiwanese around election time.
I agree and I have also heard that the diplomatic handover of Taiwan has already happened. I’m not at all convinced we will see kinetic action. There’s a lot of CCP people disappearing lately.
