Apple CEO Tim Cook was among a handful of top tech executives who attended a classified CIA briefing warning that China could attack Taiwan by 2027, according to a sweeping investigative report by The New York Times ($). The previously unreported briefing was apparently held in a secure room in Silicon Valley in July 2023.
If China’s gonna do it they have a wide open window
China invading Taiwan would unify this world more than any one want, and they definitely don’t want the world unified against them, besides they don’t need Taiwan anymore, they have cracked uv lithography and will be a serious competitor soon enough, after that nobody will care about Taiwan and they can just take it without the US intervention or at least after the UD catches up as well.
You remind me all those people saying that russia is way too powerful to need ukraine and way too smart to attack it before the war started
Fascists will fascist
The difference is of course China is to powerful and smart to attack.
Not saying they are stronger than America (yet) but they do seem to be the only country that has their shit together, at least mostly. All of their major problems don’t look like their problems at all but the problems of the people, which is a problem but won’t affect the outcome of global events unless they collapse and they seem to be less likely to collapse than most others at the moment.
Now admittedly this could all be propaganda straight from the CCP but that is kinda a point in their favor, they are the only ones who can control the narrative anymore, it’s a sign of dysfunction from every other countrie since they all propagate propaganda proportionally to power.
