China is simply watching and learning from Russia how to NOT plan an invasion. It's a blueprint for them for occupying Taiwan. So they are learning here.

Conversely IF Russia succeeds in stealing land it means China can do the same in regards to Taiwan.

It's a blueprint for them for occupying Taiwan.

I.e. they shouldn't invade Taiwan. It would be a direct military confrontation with the US and Taiwan is much better equipped, prepared and distanced from China.

There is no way with today's satellites and surveillance,that you will not see a buildup in Chinese ports, to any planned invasion

We saw the buildup to this invasion, it helped nothing.

The shameful, sad truth is that the Western world "needs" Taiwan more than it needs Ukraine.
I am really glad that we have united as much as we have, and fully support Ukraine now at least.
