I think the question of China swallowing Taiwan is not if, but when?

Unfortunately no. I had a chance a year or so ago. We were working on a project that would help Yangoon, but it never got past discussion so I did not get to go. I agree, it is in deep problems for sure.

Shhh! I am going to close my ears!!!
(But unfortunately, you may be right. Obviously, Taiwan cannot handle China by ourselfs. It would depend on the response of the rest of the world. Right now, the cost for China to try and take Taiwan is too high. I ultimately think that the cost would have to be on the economic side. Make China realize that if they did try and take Taiwan, really high sanctions, businesses pulling out, etc. would be the result.
I believe (maybe just hoping) that China needs the world export market more than the world market needs the labour/manufacturing that China provides right now.)

Yes, same thing with the Baltic States and reliance on NATO.
The thing is, it's not the Chinese people. We keep referring to China, but the devil is the CCP. They are communist and should be treated as such, the people have no choice. Nice parades, though.

Do the people want a choice? China does not appear to me to be a culture highly dissatisfied with its government.

Yeah, and I think that's a pretty good moron litmus test. Those who don't know that aren't really worth speaking with.
Please love yourself.

Curious to see China’s reactions and countermeasures.

Lot of economically satisfied morons, then...

Yup, the Chinese economy has grown a super lot consistently over the past 20 years or so.
But it has moved to the point that it needs the "external" or export economy to keep that growth. So, it needs to be shown that any bad moves made by mainland china will have significant economic impact to it.
