In the meantime, China continues to play the long game of destabilizing the economies and political will of its opponents and bides its time, hoping that some really stupid future government of Taiwan will cave in to their demands.
But if the Chinese start massing its navy, landing craft and army across the Taiwan Strait I think someone is going to notice this fairly quickly.
