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 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.
