China is giving me Ottoman Empire / Austria-Hungary vibes right now.
They are staring down the barrel of demographic disasters, economic disasters, etc, and seem to think that a military victory would shore up their position.
If the idea is human wave attacks against other countries, they may succeed.
If the idea is to try and use naval and air power to pull off something like invading Taiwan,
I see it going VERY poorly for them unless they plan on bombing the shite out of it, which isn’t their intentions because they want it intact.
Taiwan isn’t going to roll over for them because they have seen what happened to Hong Kong and the agreements China made with the British for turnover. So they have no reason to surrender and are in a very defensible position as long as they can stay fed.

Yes. Although i would word it a bit differently. It may not be to shore up per se, but essentially this is the only window they have to accomplish what they’ve been trying to do for 50 years…settle the chinese civil war once and for all.
