china won't do shit. those little islands sit on the coast of the chinese mainland and for the last 70 years all china can do is arrogantly posture and make threats but they have never been able to take them. picrel is one of the kinmen islands that belong to taiwan, this one literally sits right next to a major chinese city (xiamen) but the ccp cannot take it. they are scared of war, the ccp and their population get all jingoistic but when it comes to taking real risk they don't have the balls. now their birthrate has collapsed, their population is top heavy with elderly people, young people are lying flat, people are more defiant towards the ccp and many still dream of living in the west, their economy is still very big but it is in decline. it's over for china as far as any ambition of being a major military power in the pacific goes. china won't attack taiwan.
