An attack on Taiwan is self-defeating for China.

Both nations are involved in business and commerce. They could come to a negotiated agreement that benefits both parties.

This invasion talk is sabre-rattling by a military that is grossly over-manned with nothing much to do.

" An attack on Taiwan is self-defeating for China.

With both economy's of both countries going down the crapper, one or the other would have nothing to lose but everything to gain from a war.
What is China going to do with being over exposed of money lent out to other countries and their export economy tanks ? you got it, start a war.
