“It is entirely possible that the Chinese threats against Taiwan are a diversionary tactic to divert attention away from the Chinese troop mobilizations in Jilin and Heilongjiang.”
I’m thinking that may be movement in support of North Korea, which may very well make a move against South Korea. Jilin borders North Korea, and Heilongjiang is a stone’s throw from the NK border.
China controls North Korea and they don’t need to invade it.
