Well, they really don’t have much to say about it. The CCP will not hesitate to “give them a whiff of grapeshot”.
Actually they do. Xi knows there are limits he can push the people and one of those limits is mass military casualties - this isn't Korea, and Xi is not Mao. Not mention the other factions (Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao) which hate him and would love to see him make that blunder/miscalculation. He be killed. (It was a close call this last Party celebration). With the entire country in revolt, including the military, the CCP will go down. Which is not something the CCP can permit. So no war - skirmishes sure ; threats, intimidation, mass pro-CCP propaganda, of course. No war.
