Taiwan aint a big country compared to china. Its only 3 times more populous then hong kong.Because the Hong Kongers could only fight back with like petrol bombs.
Big countries don't launch head on attacks on countries that can actually fight back, because the cost of winning is so high that it's basically pointless and hurts you more.
Same reason the US has never actually attacked Iran despite all the talk.
Do I agree China wants control of Taiwan?
Yes, most certainly.
But the idea there's going to be some 1944 style mass amphibious invasion is a fantasy cooked up to sell planes and missiles and stuff.
and you get the entire human civilisation consists of non stop invasions?
the current time is unusual. Western democratic countries have developed human rights that has made it hard for western governments to wage war. China suffers none of those problems. Its not democractic and it doesnt have to care about its citizens rights. Plus china doesnt even see it as war. They see themselves as the natural owners of taiwan already. The onky reason they havent done it already was they were worried that the west would intervene. But given the west just rolled over on hong kong then china is now coming to the realisation the west wont actually intervene in taiwan.
