The only reason China would attack Taiwan is if the US deploys troops there, and even then im not entirely convinced they would do it. The taiwanese state only card is to develop the living standards of taiwanese people at a faster rate than China, and that’s not gonna happen by spending more in overrated american military equipment. Its pretty evident to people from the region that taiwan has been stagnant for a long time while china has been flourishing, its just a matter of time that internal pressure pushes for reunification.
