We're not there by far. Russia is doing really really bad on the battlefront.

But i do agree it could become dangerous if China gets stupid ideas too.

But, they currently don't have the capacity to strike an amphibious assault + their military seems to be similar to the Russian one.

So yes, it could become worrisome if it happens. But i don't think that China has much to gain with attacking Taiwan from my POV.

Ukraine had found a gas supply in Crimea in 2008, that could replace all Russian gas imports in Europe. That's very different than a chip factory that is set to selfdestruct during an invasion and that needs machines that are literally made by ASML+ Imec ( Europe)

Ps. I was more worried about that part at the start of the war than now.

China has been backing Russia and it's anti-Western allies in the region (e.g., Serbia). Mostly, I think, for the value of keeping the West focussed on Russia in Europe to any “stupid ideas” they might try in their region.

Well, china's growth comes from the west and not from Russia/Serbia.
