I am curious to see China’s next move. Saving face is a major part of Chinese and Asian cultures. Right now, Xi is looking weak and he is up to be reappointed as CCP leader this autumn.

This could cost Xi his grip on power and I’m expecting a response. I never thought shooting down Nancy’s plane was ever in play. But an economic blockade? I think we could see one now.

This is an important article that explains why China could not invade Taiwan now:

They could do so in September or October though.
