There is little doubt China could take over Taiwan, but there is huge doubt as far as the cost. As Russia is finding out with the Ukraine disaster. It would be far better for China to obtain what it wants by peaceful means through negotiation. With Taiwan's advanced technologies combined with partners in the western world, like Russia, China could see the cost of invading Taiwan raised to an intolerable level especially if it progresses to a war against the western world. War is the last refuge of the incompetent and for all concerned I hope China does not make a mistake of staggering proportions. like Winston Churchill said "to jaw-jaw is better than war-war as Germany found out. China could far better spending its resources to advancement and cooperation to the benefit of all than a risky war that could draw in the major western powers. Any thoughts or comments appreciated, I have no doubt they will make it to the Chinese leadership. A mutual peace and cooperation could be far, far more profitable,
