Oh the EU Parliament with its tricks again. Another attempt to salami slice the Taiwan issue against China
Based Biden
Its coming folks. Salami-slicing continues. Lets see how China responds
if the EU Commission bows to the pressure
That's why saying China will NOT take military actions on Taiwan is rather wishful thinking.
Because it's not entirely up to China. It takes two to tango. Keep in mind all the noises about China making military move on Taiwan started to surface not because China had a sudden change of policy. It is because Taiwan's DPP government had categorically refused to commit to the vague "92 Consensus" which is really an agree-to-disagree formula for both sides to find some common ground, the weekly salami-slicing and provocations from the US, and the daily insults from Taiwan.
Still, China will not take the initiative to launch an all-out invasion on Taiwan in the next 5-7 years, UNLESS some red lines are crossed. There is no guarantee that those red lines would not be crossed by Taiwan or the US in the next 5-7 years, judging by their reckless behaviors and actions.
Chinese leadership is strategic, stable and predictable. But that doesn't mean it has no bottom line. The US and now some western countries are trying to pile up on Taiwan. Remind us of the Hong Kong riot situation two years ago. These countries were jumping up and down and took China's restraint as given. China would let these clowns play, and took decisive actions in the end.
China won't launch the attack just because a certain provocation. But all the provocations are cumulative and will add up and will eventually lead to Chinese response if they don't stop. The nature of the Taiwan problem is such once China decides to take action, it would be decisive and overwhelming.
One thing we know for sure is that if forceful unification were only a theoretical concept before, it's now something China is preparing in earnest and in detail. You won't see China thumping chest and making loud pronouncements. That's not Chinese style.
