For the reason of power of symbolism I believe the war will launch before the middle of this century. In 2049 China will have its 100th birthday jubilee, and until then I am quite sure they want the Taiwanese question solved once and forever.


I think it is absolutely realistic and possible that it will happen already in the next ten years.



Maybe Taiwan better gets nukes. Serious. It has run poprgrams for developing nuclear, chemcial and biological wepaons, but the US pressed it to give them up in the 80s. Libya did so, too, and paid the price. The Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, and paid the price. Iraq gave them up, and paid the price. No reason to be optimistic for Taiwan. I think they will not survive as a free nation into the second half of this century.
