One PS to this article. A counter-argument I often hear is: yes, but in 1990, the US Seventh Fleet could have easily defeated a Chinese invasion of Taiwan - and now, it's not so clear that they could. 1/x — PolitiTweet.org

And yes, China is much militarily stronger than it was in 1990. Two crucial "buts" however: 1) Even if China might hypothetically "win" in war game terms, any such attack cost China dear in ships and men - smashing up the Chinese armed forces for a long time to come. 2/x — PolitiTweet.org
