If the US can easily invade Venezuela and threatens Cuba, why can't China take Taiwan?

Taking Taiwan would be like taking Long Island. All it takes is a blockade of Taiwan by the Chinese Navy. Why doesn't Xi use Trump's playbook and put an end to the standoff?

...because it would diminish China's credibility as a global economic power, no different than Trump has destroyed America's credibility as a global power by threatening annexation and invading Iran on behalf of Israel.

Trump has not destroyed America's credibility as a global power.

Oh yes he has! 🤣

US has a $30.6 trillion national economy. The only way Trump can destroy it is to launch a nuclear war. He does not have the courage to do that.

@sree251
The US also has a $38Trillion National Debt which is now impossible to pay off. What is your point?

Exactly! Wait for another Democrat to get in office and he won't have any opposition.

Opposition from what? The US Navy? China is not Iran.

Because Xi isn't stupid.

And the smart move is to wait till Taiwan comes home to be part of China?

@sree251 The other thing is Xi does not believe Taiwan is a threat to China. Iran was not a threat to Israel, much less the US, but the trouble is the US POTUS has an IQ in single figures.

Quite simply he doesn't want to and we get way too much stuff from Taiwan.
