Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping is rapidly militarizing his country and has instructed its army to "prepare for war" and "fight and win" it.
Xi Jinping has replaced the senior leadership of China's Rocket Force, which is responsible for almost all of China's 400 or so nuclear warheads.
These personnel changes are part of what is almost certainly the most ominous development of this time. It looks like Xi is contemplating using or at least threatening to use his most destructive weapons. In other words, China is planning to go to war."
Earlier today, the Chinese CommunistParty mobilized civilian transportation resources to move amphibious tanks via the highway from Xiamen City to Fuzhou City. Both cities are in close proximity to Taiwan.
China's economy is in deep trouble. Many local governments have run out of funds and can't pay their employees. It would make perfect sense for them to start a war against Taiwan to boost the economy. Remember war is good for big business.
The timing of any Chinese assault on Taiwan will most certainly be determined by Xi's assessment of the domestic political strength of the Biden administration as well as the possible need for a strong diversion from his own imploding economy.
Xi is also doubtless assessing the US president's resolve to back up his repeated declarations that US forces would come to the defense of Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, as opposed to the US State Department's immediate walk-back of the promise.
If Xi loses faith in the possibility of a peaceful union with Taiwan, which he may hope will come about on January 13, 2024 with the election in Taiwan of a new, more complaint president, and if China's economy continues to collapse, he could decide to incorporate Taiwan with military force.
Xi will then need to decide on the most appropriate time to launch an invasion of Taiwan. After witnessing the Biden Administration's abandonment of Afghanistan, that would most likely be while Biden is still in power.
