Taiwan is not shrinking from a conflict. China needs to regroup and realize it doesn't exist in that region alone.

I realize The West has a One China policy. China is under estimating the power of their states wtih democracies. The die was cast a long time ago. China has control of Western style states in their commerce and they make China wealthier. Why is China putting that in jeopardy when the world appreciates the economic relationships with Chinese Democratic States like Taiwan. It is foolishness for China to chase ideologies that make it weaker than stronger.
