Invasion of Taiwan, Probably Not Soon

The Communist Party Congress will not be held until the Fall, when Xi is expected to start his third term. So, he probably cannot take a major step, like invading Taiwan, before that. Additionally, the Chinese economy was already flagging. Lockdowns in Shenzhen and Shanghai are threating China’s economic growth, which Beijing had already set at a modest 5.5%. The unity of the US and NATO allies, and the negative impact their sanctions have had on Russia must surely serve as a warning to China, to sanction-proof themselves before invading Taiwan. Consequently, I believe the Ukraine invasion may have delayed the Taiwan invasion by years. #economy #military #taiwan #china #invasiaon #russia #Ukraine
