There were some think tanks that stated that war in the SCS should ideally occur at the 2025 mark.

The thought process is that the US gets weaker every passing year while China gets stronger. So waiting any longer will be a detriment to US interests while increasing the odds for a smooth (and peaceful) reunification with Taiwan.

Dude, the "reunification" stuff is ALL larp. Even the phrase makes no sense. The CPC has never controlled Taiwan. Throughout Chinese dynastic history, they didn't care at all about Taiwan. It was a dangerous place of zero importance.

Also, Taiwan isn't going to let some foreign country take over. This has never happened in the history of humans.

The CPC SHOULD have chased the KMT off of Taiwan or PREVENTED them from going in the first place. THAN they would have been welcomed just like the KMT were first initially welcomed because they weren't Japanese colonizers that treated Taiwanese like 2nd class citizens. (Obviously the KMT turned out to be worse - more oppressive, more violent, didn't care at all about developing the country)
