The U.S. is the aggressor in this case. China doesn't want war. If we make it so that a U.S. attack isn't likely to be successful, then the U.S. might be less likely to attack.

this war would most likely start with a chinese attack on taiwan. of course the chinese want to know what the us would do if it decided to defend taiwan. musk is not on a peace mission.

to believe that china is the peace dove – good lord.
