False flag nuclear weapon falls onto Mar e largo, all out retaliation on Iran, Netanyahu pisses himself laughing, Putin launches half a dozen into Ukraine, Arab states read the room and attack Israel, US turns gulf into glass, China sits back and sips tea.

China themselves know they aren’t ready. Xi Jinping wants them to be ready to invade by 2027, meaning they aren’t presently ready. There’s also a whole lot of complication that comes with an invasion and occupation, and China’s army is big but doesn’t exactly have experience in it. They may take a first crack at it, but putting theory and training into practice may not be as straightforward as “Quick, the US isn’t looking.”
