The whole of China? Hard to invade in part because desert and mountain regions are always a bitch.
Eastern China is decently managable in the same way it would be if you invaded the US from the Gulf of Mexico, but it goes to hell very quickly and you’re fricked from there.

The main populated areas of China? So clustered together that saturation bombing and taking out Three Gorges could probably do a lot of the work. Combine that with taking out their food distribution network and things get ugly quick.
Yeah, China is unquestionably in the 5 worst countries to invade. Really the only plus is the people aren’t armed, and that’s about it. Switzerland is firmly #1 since they got hidden bunkers everywhere in the countryside and they’re more heavily armed than we are.

Japan has little to no standing military post WWII. If Taiwan goes without U.S intervention (I predict Biden will let it happen ) Japan is next. It will begin as a dispute over fishing grounds/territorial waters. It will then escalate to a blockade of oil and other items. Possibly bio release. They want all of Asia, Japan is a threat to their commercial fishing, commerce and rank as THE economic power in Asia (especially tech ).

Why not, they chose ours.

why would Hong Kong allow
Right, Hong Kong is "allowing it". But look no further than the good ole USA, we are allowing the same thing right now.

Well I mean, they’ve chosen OUR leaders. Why not take a more proactive approach closer to home?

How long will it be before Taiwan becomes the next province of the People's Republic Of China?
I've said ever since Biden "won" that this would happen before 1/1/22

Admittedly, I'm not an expert on Hong Kong-Chinese relations or history, but why would Hong Kong allow China to dictate how they choose leaders?
With Biden/Harris sucking every Chinese dick they can get their mouths on, who is going to stop China from doing whatever they want to Hong Kong? They'll take Taiwan and Singapore within the next few years as well.

Hong Kong is probably my favorite city in the world,
Why? I was never very fond of it. Dirty, extremely overcrowded, and most of the people are rude. Last time I was there was in '96

Been to China itself? And in the late 2000s-early 2010s when I was there it was fricking awesome. I’m sorry, Hong Kong is one of the 5 greatest cities in the modern world, but it’s now ruined as is New York.

This should be headline news at the top, it isn't. China wins again.

They’re not going after Japan dude. If they do, that’s basically the end of the world where they’re going to nuke them. China has never had a claim to Japan and they also know it’s a horrifically bad idea to invade that island chain.

Russian going for Ukraine today. what a shocker. Yes, Biden is weak but Biden is also allowing it because of deals he and Obama made with China & Russia.
