Typical projection by the Western media to convince their readers that Ukraine can win, now that the Russian victory in the Bakhmut sector is imminent.
There is no way Russia can win with just 300K soldiers when Ukraine has more than 500k to a million soldiers being mobilized, trained and getting western equipment like tanks and air defense missiles. Russia can make occasional advances like it did last year when it took Lyman but then lost huge chunks when ukraine started its attack. Russia is bleeding in terms of manpower and weapons. That's why Most western media is confident ukraine will again win huge chunks of land when the Spring offensive starts.

Russia needs to make a fundamental strategic change in order to win. They will have to mobilize hundreds of thousands of new soldiers and also ramp up their industry for producing millions of munitions and new equipment. OR they are doomed.

More China fear mongering? Or are the US and the DPP preparing for a provocation or false flag to lure the PLA into some kind of conflict?

Very unlikely to be fear mongering. Note the words used here (assuming the translation was accurate.)

During a Q&A session in parliament, Chiu claimed that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) may find a “certain pretext” this year to make a “sudden entry” into a zone contiguous to Taiwan and get close to what it considers its territorial waters.

A certain pretext for a sudden entry? Sounds like they know exactly what provocation they are planning that will trigger a huge response from China. The only rumors this year was a US congressional visit or a trip by McCarthy to the island. Looks like it got green lit since they are saying it will happen this year.

In the same speech Trump also pledged to

It's gonna get ugly as we approach the next US presidential election at the end of next year.

If Trump wins, 2025 will be the year that he takes office. Which is also the year that many American warmongers mentioned, that war with China will take place.

As much as Trump is a moron, his presidency was actually just as damaging as Biden's. Trump had started the trade wars and instigated the anti-China wave. He unleashed Covid-19 on the Chinese people. Which backfired disastrously. That is why he pulled the US out of the WHO and went on a 'China Virus' campaign. He was going nuts towards the end of 2020. Near the end of 2020, General Miley had to call his Chinese counterpart to calm down. I don't really know what the hell happened. Did both of them saw Trump brewing something up?

As much as I hate Biden. I hate Trump even more. He surrounds himself with Republican yellow peril madmen. He is unapologetically racist. He is the true face of America. As we can see, Trump is not done with China yet. Trump 2.0 can potentially outdo the damage that Joe Biden had done so far. He might be so stupid as to finally collapse the US economy and shun allies. But that could be potentially even more dangerous for world peace. Because we never know how Trump and the US would take it.

What ever China's plan for the future. Prepare for war now. It doesn't even need to be another Republican presidency. America is going nuts now. They might come from the shadows, or from the sea. Please don't get surprised by your enemies again.

Trump wants to end all trade with China, lol, that's batshit insane level there. Biden is half-asleep trying to "Gather Allies", how is that going for him?

There is nothing magical about dated equipment like Leopard 2A4 tanks. They won't fare any better than the T-64 mod 2017. The Ukrainians had close to a thousand of those tanks or similar when the conflict started. As for air defense, a couple of hacked together inferior Western systems won't be able to even replace the Soviet era systems Ukraine had properly.
And this supposed much vaunted "spring offensive" it won't happen until the mud dries up which won't happen any time soon. And even if it does, you cannot replace trained soldiers with fresh troops just like that, reality is not a computer game.

Not even a visit to Taiwan? Big loss for the PLA to do another big salami slicing. Well, we have to settle for just a smallish salami slicing in April. SAD!

Kevin McCarthy to meet Taiwan’s president in US to avoid China’s ire
The two sides have agreed to meet in California, with Tsai Ing-wen also due to speak at Reagan Library
US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Taiwan’s president Tsai Ing-wen plan to meet in California rather than Taipei in a bid to avoid an aggressive response from Beijing to a meeting on the island.

McCarthy, a California Republican who became Speaker in January, had said last summer that he intended to visit Taiwan if he was appointed.
But he and Tsai have now agreed to meet in California instead, in a move designed to avoid a demonstration of force by the People’s Liberation Army similar to when then-speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in August.
Tsai will visit both California and New York in early April as part of a trip to Central America. She has also decided to accept an invitation to speak at the Reagan Library in southern California, according to several people including a senior Taiwanese official.
