Chinese “D-Day style” barges have been spotted practising what appear to be amphibious landings in the South China Sea.

Yes. But now there is gonna be a big butt (hehe) coming. Taking Taiwan would be immensely damaging to chinas reputation internationally and I do not believe in the whole blood and soil thing so if the taiwanese want to be independent I support them. So while you are right and historically there is much more to it I believe it would be very beneficial for china to just roll with it and use a western backed taiwan and hong kong to their advantage. We are all seeing how damaging similar rhetoric is to the russian people and even the americans right now. If any country takes any land by force it wont have friends on the international stage and reliable trading partners which china massively profits from.
While this may have been true decades ago. It really isn’t anymore.
Israel is doing very well on the world stage, given it’s destruction of Gaza…
Russia’s installation of a puppet leader in the US could turn its outlook around in the next three or four years.
I have no doubt that China is looking at its own success with destroying the autonomy of Hong Kong and thinking the time is right to take over Taiwan…
People hate Israel. They see Israel as being one of the greatest evils of our time.
People also hate Russia for invading Ukraine.
If China invades Taiwan then they will lose all the goodwill they have worked so hard to build over the last 20 years.
That would be the smart thing to do, sure. The problem is that narcissists and megalomaniacs are reckless and dangerous.
