It is a good sign for the security of Taiwan. The next time conditions are favorable in the Taiwan Strait for the PRC to attack Taiwan is October. After that they have to wait until April.

Fast as things have been moving on all fronts ever since last November I'd give high marks for the briefest glimmer of honest data. BRAVO ZULU on you for even getting involved in this fur ball.
The biggest part of the problem with getting to see honest data on the situation in the PRC is that I would have to kill you if I even told you I had seen it.

You are too kind. I like puzzles but not ones that might affect the security of the country I and my progeny, etc., live in.

Don’t forget though, pressed authoritarian leaders will ignore the obvious tactical shortcomings and go for “hail Mary’s” just to alleviate political/social heat. When/if they are on a roll they will overextend, when in reversal/decline they will push panacea operations…
They had leadership quoted 20 years ago as indicating that even if they elicited a U.S. nuclear response that killed as many as 800 million, that would be OK as long as the Party survived.
