I have to agree, though i am not sure about PROC's intentions towards invasions of non-chinese territory. Compared to Germany they have no neutral country to cross to attack Taiwan, as Germany had. They of course claim the other chinese territory of Taiwan for them, but i do not think they will go further anytime soon.
The inner system of the PROC has a lot of similarities, with new technologies this is supervision on steroids. We of course have the latter, too, just not using it to full extent. Yet.
And OT here, but: Maybe a bit unwise of Biden to threaten China (only) with sanctions in case of an aggressive act towards Taiwan, while at the same time saying he would not go to war over this.. an open invitation? Why did he even say anything about this, instead of keeping Xi Jin Ping in doubt?
Double OT and fictional: what if some western power would sign a military treaty with Taiwan against mainland chinese aggression? I see this as the only chance for Taiwan..
