I mean, if I were China I’d nab Taiwan now that the US has its hands full with stupid wars.
And this is why westoids will never be able to understand anything about China until they have their brains throughly washed. It's not even that you're riddled with propaganda. You just think China has been wanting to act like EuroFascists (like America) for years and the only thing that's been stopping them is that the world police might attack them for it.
It never even occurs to you that China understands that military force is an anti-social phenomenon and their goal for unification of their people, territory, national defense, and governance is a pro-social objective. It never occurs to you that even if China had. 200% guarantee of military success they wouldn't use military force because they understand the consequences to their people and their goals would be catastrophic.
Literally the only reason China even needs the most capable military it can muster is because the fascist West has never stopped making it abundantly clear that they are out for blood, not driven by any pro-social goals but driven purely by the desire for total dominance and subjugation of the world.
Ahhhhhh, now i understand. Thats why they bring military aircraft! How stupidly european of me.
Europeans have no problem with bringing military planes all over the world, doing joint exercises that simulate invading other countries, and building up stockpiled of weapons and supply chains to prepare for war with their enemies, and they think everyone who reacts badly to that is just overreacting. But God forbid the Chinese should have military planes defending an area that literally the world legally recognizes as party of China to defend against the constant military threats by the West.
It's orientalism at its finest. And we can't expect much from the EuroCentric world, orientalism is ingrained in their psyche - after all, they invented it.
