Agree on the Ukrainian vs. Taiwanese comparison. That being said, I’ve talked to a lot of Taiwanese here that acknowledge that fact yet take pride in it. Basically don’t underestimate the population here along with the fact it’s an island AND the topography of it all.
HK is done, but that was a very different deal from what TW would ever face.
Xi’s vision is “the great reunification” for sure… but I think he is seeing the price he would pay. While he is political first… he always wants to stay in power and not tarnish his “legacy”.
Regardless, it’s going to be an interesting 5 years in this region.
