Look at what has happen to Russian after they invade Ukraine.
The Ukraine military (on paper) was less then the Russian military.
Ukraine is a neighbor to Russia and their military could drive across a border to invade.
Ukraine has not been preparing for war over the past 70 years.
Yet over a year later they are still trying to gain control over the nation.
Now compare that to China and Taiwan.
The window to invade Taiwan is small, the location to land troops are small.
Taiwan has had over 70 years to prepare their defenses against an invasion.
The logistics of moving troops over open water when the defender’s air planes are within striking distance is almost suicidal.
The last point is that both China and Russian military is corrupt with rank based on loyalty to the “party” as opposed to merit (unfortunately this is becoming true with the American military as well).
There is nothing to prevent China from invading Taiwan, but it will not be a cake walk and the price to “win” may be more then it is worth.
Nice dam ya got there chicomtards. Be a shame if there was an “overdue maintenance issue”...

“China increases its military budget by 7.1% - $230BN”
If that is only 7% of their military budget some quick math tells me that they’re already spending NEARLY TWICE what we’re spending on the military, and they get FAR MORE for that money, since they don’t have Drag Queens running around their bases during drills.
So, too late, we already missed the boat regarding China.
