    Will it be an escalation of the Russia/Ukraine war? Or will the Israel/Gaza war spill over into the wider region? Or will America try to start some shit over Taiwan? Who knows!

    Clock is ticking, though.

        China doesn’t really do military conflict. They’re not like Russia who has had several military conflicts in just the past few decades; China hasn’t really done anything like that for over 40 years. If they decide to do anything they’ll probably do something that’s partially economic and partially political. If anyone is going to start a war over Taiwan it’s going to be America - they’ve been signaling it pretty hard.

        My guess? China starts restricting trade or infrastructure or energy or something to put pressure on Taiwain, America decides it’s time to liberate them from “the yolk of Chinese tyranny” and introduce some FreedomTM, and then it’s WW3
