I forgot to describe Xi’s blunder in abandoning Deng’s policies:

Loss of prestige.

Will and has been frightening neighbors, who will fold into US.

Military confrontations are painful, with no certainty of result except that there will be guaranteed major losses for all parties regardless of ultimate winner.

An invasion of Taiwan in my view implicates taking down US. Not so easily done. Although presently fractious and badly led, Americans should not be underestimated.

Re <<reasonable, cautious approach went by the wayside>>

Lee Tung Hui and now Tsai veered the direction, and so Xi must either encourage or make course adjustment, etc etc

The local politics is too complicated to even summarise, suffice to say the reasonable approach was weaponised by local politics, a mistake that the electorates shall hopefully fix
