None, and trying will end in defeat and possibly nuclear war.

Ok, then why continue lying about it and pretending China has to act against Taiwan to prevent it?

I think the reason the US is lying is because they believe that they can undermine China’s position. They want to damage the country in some way to maintain their status as the sole superpower, but it’s too late for that. China is entrenched as a leader in world industry and attempting to contain them is impossible.

I'm getting convinced you're a parody account roleplaying as a paid apologist

I’d describe myself as unfortunately well-informed. More likely is that the people I’m arguing with are paid apologists/mis-educated by the mainstream media.

You're 'informed' that the US is planning to 'conquer China'

Better swap your phone for some binoculars and go watch the horizon, I'm sure the landing ships will be arriving any day now

Oh. That's delusional.

It's funny how "second echelon" states' enthusiasts are making the same mistakes in every century. From the German Empire to Soviet Union to China.

Scale is not the only thing that matters and China is not innovative. It's functioning as a huge factory for the rest of the world, and making lots of money and influence in process, but for the world it can be replaced, while the world can't be replaced for China.

Autarky is not possible for China. It could have had a chance at that 20-15 years ago, but it's gone.

Especially with its demographic and political tendencies.
