Not going to comment on the whole Zhang situation, but pushing for an "early" Taiwan conflict is just about the most stupid thing the PLA brass could do. The military balance in the Pacific is gradually shifting in China's favor and having the time to build up industrial and military capacity is a crucial advantage that the Chinese leadership has realized for years.

It would actually be in the interest of the US and her allies to have China make a move on Taiwan at this point, as doing so would bleed China of her resources and personnel so as to cement the US' position as the unchallenged hegemon in the Pacific and ultimately the world. China's leadership realizes this, which is likely why there was such little reaction - military-wise - to clear provocations such as Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan in 2022.

As such, this little writeup from Zhao DaShuai sounds not like an official deduction of China's policy but rather the blogger's personal desires that are wishcast as the former.

Zhao Dashuai is one of a type of user on twitter who like to convey their own geopolitical opinions as if it were common sense or official, and often without good understanding of PLA matters either.

I don't see why their opinions should be posted here anymore than any random's opinion on twitter, especially given their track record is basically just one of chest thumping.
