China issues regular threats to invade Taiwan
How about we SHOULD take them seriously. This is the only way of dissuading them from idle threats.
And also one of these times they just might mean it; better safe than sorry.

You are also saying they lie and cannot be trusted about important matters. Why deal with them then? Even the Soviets were better than that.

not to impose force outside the country.
Those nukes are for internal use?

they can wait for reunification.
Wait? What would make them think they could ever accomplish it without force? It's hard to believe the Taiwanese would not resist- -most likely with US aid and backing and possibly with US intervention. The current US government would have to be history; more likely, the current Chinese government will fall first.

The Chinese could have taken Hong Kong and Macao by force at any time in the last 50 years.
Macao, maybe. Hong Kong? That would risk war with Britain and maybe the US.
