Ill just sit back first and hold my horses. I doubt China would piss in the hornets nest just yet.

I think it would first try to find a way to migitate risk of economic collapse.

Besides. Taiwan is an open supporter of israel. Which now that I say it out loud sounds exactly lile the “Iran threats” said as the reason both Israel and the US bombed Iran.

Pretty sure China is happy with the current arrangement and doesn’t actually want to rock the boat that hard. The current arrangement does rely on constant pressure and the ability to take Taiwan at a moments notice though, should the situation change. So yeah this checks out to me.
