    Shouldn’t China start to block arms deliveries to Taiwan? Basically blockade them or search incoming ships? Or would that be too much escalation?

    It might also be smart to start supplying Iran and Lebanon with weapons like anti aircraft missiles, drones and artillery. Draw the US and Israel into a similar proxy war as the US did with Ukraine and Russia.

      It would be an escalation that would help the US politically, and I think ultimately the types of weapons the US is sending aren’t really going to make much difference in the end. If US tried to send missiles that could hit the mainland, I expect that would be a red line though. The status quo continues to play in China’s favor, and if China is able to avoid escalation, I think that peaceful reunification is all but certain in the long run.

      In terms of West Asia, it looks like China is working on building economic integration while leaving the military aspect to Russia. Israel is already doing everything it can to provoke a regional conflict, and at this point it seems that it’s only a matter of time. I agree that it would end up being a very similar scenario for the US as Ukraine is for Russia.
