      I had this thought, though China has been very obvious with their movements lately. I’d more suspected they were doing it try have the US back down on the Strait by reminding them of the South China Sea.

        In a world of unpredictability and uncertainty, presenting your country as stable and certain is extremely profitable.

      China Taiwan relations are improving significantly during this war. Taiwan gets all energy/helium from Gulf. Chinese allies have control over what can get shipped to Taiwan. China seriousfaced offered some sweet LNG to Taiwan for peaceful reunification. A ship that would transship to Taiwan without China’s permission will be blacklisted from future Gulf trade. US has 99 bigger problems than Philippines or even Taiwan.

      China is not invading Taiwan. I wish people would stop regurgitating this BS and actually see what is happening politically within China. Because the US is just recklessly invading other countries - 2 this year alone - you don’t need to project this on China.
